   Teflon dry lube or silicone they both come in spray cans silicone would be cheaper but if you use to much it could ruin your cube

   Silicon. It works the best, and it is very cheap and widely availabe. however, you must be very careful about it, else, you run the risk of killing your cube.

   I assume that you already know how to lubricate the cube. take it apart, put some lube on the parts of the cube that turn, though do not over-do it. Next, reassemble the cube in the right order, scramble it and solve it. If it feels fine and you can cut corners on it, then take it apart again without touching the insides of the cube. Leave it to dry. Once it does, put it back together and feel the difference.
