This is the answer I got from UST when I asked about lube on the cables on a TX-455 that I bought used.
We actually don't recommend putting anything on the cables at all.  It can make them slip from the pulley's on the tower.   We recommend changing the cable's every 3-4 years depending on the area you live in.   You can use bee's wax on the tower to help the tower extend and retract cleaner.
