I made love to my guhong every night (until I got my Zhanchi a new core; after that it was only every other night).
What did you do to your GuHong?

When I got it, I took it out of the box. 2 weeks later, I lubed it.

lubed it. . .

My first one, which is just over a year old, I just lubed with some 20,000wt silicon differential lube (for RC motor transmissions). Works like a dream.
Ordered another one for my office desk a few month ago: noisy clacking, bad tensioning, etc. -- a complete nightmare. (Glad it wasn't my first one). So I completely disassembled it, cleaned off all the rough plastic sprues with an x-acto knife (48 point edge mod), lubed the core (Lubix Ultimate method), reassembled, lubed, re-tensioned the screws off and on for a few days, sanded the corners as they had rough spots (I used a nail file), and now it is even better than my original GuHong.

48 Edge mod, V5 Corner mod, some corner rounding, edge rounding, center cap mods, bought lubix torpedos, lubed with izo lube/silicube, cubesmith stickers, and about to change core to A1 core.

Black GuHong Lone Goose.
Lubed with Traxxas Silicone (Apparently Lubix repackaged)
Modded corner stock nubs, edges, 48 point edge mod, center peice mods, alpha v core, cubesmith half brights, and installed torpedoes.
It turns fast when I loosen it (derp) but it locks up quite a bit. Corner cutting won't go to 45 and the corners are a bit loose from all the shaved plastic. Meh. My Zhanchi and Lingyun with only Lubix are better. Still a lot better than out-of-box though.

48 point edge mod. Lubed with CRC silicone for 3 months to break it in. Cleaned out the CRC and lubed with Traxxas 30K like a Lubix Ultimate GuHong. Changed to half-bright plus bright blue Cubesmith stickers. It's really smooth and silky now.

I sent it back to r3stationtech - I bought a white cube, they gave me a black with extra stickers -_-.
The cube was really stiff anyway.

Took my Guhong V1 completely apart and lubed it with Lubix... Lubix way (core, springs, etc.) Tensioned it to corner cutting ability of ~45 degrees. Did 48-point edge mod. Dayan stickers wore off so changed them to Cubesmith stickers. I think they're called half brights? Not sure. I have a bright green and fluorescent orange. Kept the blue as dark colour but I think I'll use the brighter blue next time.

48 point mod, changed yellow to black so black is opposite white, lubed with 50k, painted with nail polish, top coated with spray enamel. I prefer it to my other 3x3x3s but despite the extra use it shows no sign of wear:
