Chain lube that Sram put on their chains?

Does anyone know what it is?
I have chain 'oils' and they are runny, seem to attract dirt, grit and generally clog up big bits of grit around the chainset.
I've recently bought a new bike and the sram chain is pre-greased with an awesome feeling dry lube that is kind of waxy but seems to resist picking up excess road grime. I bought a sram chain a few years back for a hybrid and that too was coated in the same lube.
What is it as I want some!

There are many different dry lubes out there, I'm putting finish line ceramic wax on mine -> but there are loads of alternatives.
Any decent dry lube will keep your drive-train cleaner than wet lube, as there is nothing for the dirt to stick to.
Dry lubes are not good for wet riding though as they just get washed off.0 -
I always thought the goo on a new chain was only there to stop it going rusty in storage, but Sheldon Brown thought it the best lubricant known to man, and advised against removing it.

Looking at SRAM's website they mention Gleitmo as a lube for some of their MTB chains; could that be it? If so, I couldn't find anyone selling it
