The lubricant: D39? with maru lube? where to buy?

i heard all of the asian cubers use D39 to lube their cubes and after a few solves they drop in some maru lube. they say its the best lube you can get! my question is : is there anyone who already tried this before? is it good(compare to other lubes like lubix, silicube)?
and: can i bring any kind of lubricant from china to canada? (im going to china soon and ill buy a LOT of stuff including lubricants, just dont know if i can bring it to canada?) if someone can answer me that will be great!

there is maru and I think D39, also there is lube that is similar to maru. I doubt it is better than lubix or shock oil, but you can try it.

If you don't know if you can get it through security, try and mail it in advance.

Lubricant

I am wondering what lube would make my cube fast and clicky instead of smooth and jelly like. I was wondering if 100% silicone spray would make it fast and clicky. Or what about 3-in-1 oil.
Oh and what about atb oil?

If you want your cube to be fast and clicky, you should consider getting a different type of cube.

Really? Darn. Just got a new c4u cube to. I like it, it is just to slow. I didn't get it from c4u so it wasn't prelubed

well crc will make it faster and will keep it clicky. oils will make it slightly smoother

Silicone Spray Lube makes cube too smooth?

So i have this shengshou 3x3 which had some cheap Chinese lube when i first got it. Now its dry on the inside and makes this noise when ever i turn it. I want to lube it but when i lubed my rubik's brand (Took out all the pieces and lined them up to spray) it got too smooth, when i'd flick it for a U or a U' it would make a U2. It was gliding to much and was out of control. What should i do (lubing wise) so i don't get that to happen on my shengshou?

 

[benskoning]

Do not lay it out just take an edge out then spray inside.

hope this helps.

You mean the way he lubed his Zhanchi?

Yes it's just peachy.

 

[mrpotatoman14]

Out of curiosity I put contact lens solution in my guhong because it says one of the ingredients is a natural lubricant. It worked AMAZINGLY. A few days later when I was on the silicube website (even though I use shock oil) it said it was made of polydimethysiloxane. I looked it up because I had never seen a lube made of that. It turns out that is a main ingredient in the contact solution.

I haven't tried this in my guhong yet, but I have shock oil mixed with silicone spray in my zhanchi and the cube is very good, smooth, quiet, yet still very fast and cuts corners well.

If you go with diff oil, go for traxxas diff oil. http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_nkw=traxxas+diff+oil+&_cqr=true&_nkwusc=traxxass+diff+oil&_rdc=1
