You can't tell me there is not a single store in Australia that sells Heavy duty silicone spray, you just haven't looked very hard.

I'll break this down as humorously as I can.

Lubix is like UN Security Council resolutions: it's not a be all end all solution, as the pieces usually need lubrication themselves.

Silicone, CRC, 100% pure silicone lubricants are like mathematics: it's universal, works everywhere in the traditional sense.

Maru lube is like unicorn blood in Harry Potter: It's magical at first, but it doesn't last long and you'll soon have to reapply it.

Vaseline or any other oil based lubricant are like US foreign policies: It may work for a while, or it may seem to work on paper, but in the long term things break down.

For a Rubik's brand specifically I would go with CRC but not before this.

I don't understand this part, because when using Lubix/Diff Oil, you still lube the pieces.

You had me in stitches. I think their 'things' break down even in short term...
