After the cleaner has evaporated, we use a specialty lock lubricant, but have had great luck with Tri-Flow. It was reallly the standard until this synthetic lock lube was introduces by Briggs and Stratton several years ago. If you can't find Tri-Flow Tri-Flow is used by bicycle mechanics as a cable lube. You'll find it at any bike shop.
