Cleaning and lubing - Whats the script ?

Here is my routine :

Wash bike (frame, wheels, gears the lot) after muddy or dirty ride. I use Fenwicks FS1 in a 5 litre pump spray bottle, then clean with a brush and lightly hose down. Avoid jetting water into seals or bearings.

After EVERY ride, I clean around the fork stanctions and spray lightly with teflon lube spray (using a cloth behind to protect brakes etc from overspray) and then pump the forks before wiping clean. This traps any particulates which would have lodged in the seal and moves them / sticks them to the stanctions where they can be wiped away.

Spray pivots and moving parts of front and rear mech with teflon lube spray, using a cloth behind to protect brakes etc from overspray.

Check chain for damage or dry links and lube while turning crank backwards. I use Finish Line Cross Country Wet and Finish Line Dry Teflon lube, depending on the time of year. The wet stuff sticks in the wet, the dry is better at shrugging off grit and trail dust. I do this every few rides as needed.

Every couple of weeks I check the fork air pressures and tyre pressures.

I use White Lightning (wax lube) on cables.

Degreaser does remove old lube.

Water displacer does as it states, allows water to run off easily, preventing tide marks, and protects paintwork in a roundabout way.

I would assume, to lube cables you would dampen a cloth with lube and run along the cables? only guessing tho

Lube new cable inners / outers before you fit them, or when fitting new inners or just taking them apart for maintenance. White Lightning is very runny if you warm it up and then shake well.
