Finishline Synthetic grease with Dupont Teflon- I like it a lot better then park grease. It has little to no scent it works great as a all purpose grease for anything that needs it. I also used it to sub as ti prep and it was just fine. i have a 3.5oz tube and I've been useing it for a good year and a half and serviced my bike as well as a few friends. All around good grease
White lightning - I use it on my cables and chain. IMO it's so so. When ever I use it on my chain it usaly rubs off on my jeans after a good days ride and it wears out fast. For cables it isn't so good nor is it so bad. I've had a couple of cables clog up from it and yes it was a new bottle and i did shake it for more then 10 mins before useing it.
Triflow spray lube - I havent used it a lot except for my chain and freewheel so i can't say much. It does silent chains though and does a good job killing the squeek from door hinges
EDIT
Wheelsmith Spokeprep- For spoke threads. Does it work like lock tite, or is it more adjustable?
It basicly is something that makes lacing the wheel and trueing it later a breeze. So basicly more adjustable.
