I rarely post and never thread, but I figured here was probably the best place to ask this question...

I've got myself a Rubix cube and I wanted it to go faster, so I could get myself a faster time. My two choices were Vaseline (petroleum jelly) or Silicone spray.

After comparing many sites I decided to completely disassemble my cube, give the whole lot a light spray with silicone spray and then reassemble after a bit of airing.

The first thing I found was that it was faster to turn the sides, but when I tried to combo it would get stuck quite easily. Thus making my cube slower than before...

I am now quite annoyed at a few websites and some kid on youtube.
Any suggestions on how to undo what I did, make my cube faster or any other ideas?
