Wayne,
Thanks for sharing your experience with the Sprayon lube. Thats a pretty good testimony for a cable lube after 30 years !
I looked it up and I may give it a try myself. Nothing against Pre-Lube but sometimes its good to try alternate products.
I haven't put on my asbestos suit, I hope I don't get flamed now, hihi
Here's what I found on the Sprayon S00201:

I cut the winch cable at a number of places to check it’s condition at no layer of the 3/16 cable showed ANY degradation ( this tower was lowered a few 20 times in it’s 30 year instlation ) and the cable wicked a sound as it unwound not from moisture ( there was none) but the tacky substance of the lube..
