the cables to rise up and down and to lay it are very dry
and a bit oxidize
in some places, also the pulleys.

No - do not use either of
those. What you want is a thin kind of
lubricant so that it wicks into the strands. If you
use anything else,
either the coating attracts contaminants or traps
water inside the strands -
both of which are bad for the cables.

carries the PreLube which is recommended

outside USA?.
Some of this are prohibited by air companies.
