I have always cleaned and lubed my cables the following way:I clean the cable by spraying WD-40 in the cable till it comes out the other end.I follow this with chain wax.I use PJ1,It stays liquid long enough to flow through the cable,than jells to stay put & lubricate.Also does not attract dirt.I have always cleaned & lubricated my cables in this way & never had a cable fail.I do them once a year,in the spring.
