The Best Lube, Hands Down
Okay, I'm not a big bit-luber but it seems as though alot of you guys are. I used to be a locksmith. I spent 6 years breaking into cars/houses/safes, and fixing them to be used again. Blah, blah, whatever. I am going to tell you about the best lube you can find that will not collect dust, and stays on the car for a while. It comes in a red, white, and black spray can. You spray it on and as soon as the alcohol evaporates it becomes this super slick powder coat of fine lubricant that stays on your gears/suspension really well.
The name? ASSA lube. There is a brand of extremely high-security locks out there called ASSA. The company sells their own lubricant for the locks because they have such tight tolerances and small moving parts. This stuff is AWESOME!!!
As far as I know, you can only get it at your local locksmith shop, and he/she will most likely have to special order it for you.
It's pretty expensive (like $10 for a small can) but worth it's weight in gold.

I have something similar. It is alcohol based in a drip bottle (like superglue). I think it is called slick it or slip it or something like that (can't find it at the moment). It works good and does not collect dust. Found it a hobby shop years ago.

Yeah my stuff takes a long time to dry also. I use the pencil trick when I don't want to wait.

well yea you can use the pencil tequinique but i dont think it works the same as the graphite powder. not all pencils are made from graphite. i believe you need a HB pencil to have a all graphite pencil.. and at that i still dont think you get the same effect because the powder is finer and can coat the gears better.. not that you want them swiming in it.. but it may work better..
