Nope ,just vacum off everything .. No oil,grease or even wd40 .
Dry is better [ imo ]

I don't take care of much. That way I can blame it on whatever brand it is if it breaks. I have a harder time finding something when I clean up so I just leave everything where it is.

good tip-if a weight, swivel, wire, or grommet falls under or behind something..leave it there. Then when you run out you can move a bench and find exactly what you need.

I would suggest you try something other than grease
look for some LPS 1 ..it's a dry lube , works great on bare metal
tools etc
