In a recent write up in Wood magazine the writer wrote about
a product from ProGold. It's their PG2000 Penetrating
Lubricant. The product is meant to be used over time and
with each application it lasts longer. The Wood writer
confirms this.

Any teflon carrying "dry" lube available in bicycle shops should do
the trick, as ProGold seems to be one more label on the same can. G
I prefer the drip-on versions over the aerosol delivery. These
products do work quite well.

We use this stuff all the time on high end bicycles. Personally I've
probably used ten different brands of it. These lubes work by
carrying a finely ground dry lube mix (graphite, teflon, etc...) in an
evaporative carrier, kind of like a high-tech automotive lock deicer.
Each application leaves more of the dry component behind, which is
what the wood writer noticed. They work best on CLEAN surfaces,
spraying or dripping it on a sawdust encrusted assembly will simply
waste lube. Once the lube dries, less dust will stick, compared
with greases.

I've also had excellent luck with wax-based chain lubes such as White
Lightning, Pedros Ice Wax and others on machinery. Bike shop versions
of ProGold are known as Pedro's Extra Dry, ProLink, TriFlow Dry Chain
Lube, etc...
