You've washed and dried, and you lube with.......
Washed and dried my bike and about to put it back in the garage for (possibly) a few weeks until we get a decent day of weather.
Lubed the chain with the excellent Wurth high performance dry chain lube, but what would you use to lube the rest of the bike? Not WD40, as this is a degreaser. I used 3-in-1 spray oil, although I also have the silicon version. Sprayed it in all the usual places, including the two locks. What would others use for a general lubricant?

Re: You've washed and dried, and you lube with.......
I love ACF50. I've loaded a bottle of it into a paraffin gun so I can blast a fine mist of the stuff over most of my town
 Big bin bags to wrap round the wheels, aim, fire!
