I use WD-40 to clean all the gunk out then wipe as much of that off with a paper towl, then give ita few shots of silicone spray. Seems to work pretty good.

I use WD 40 to clean the reel and then put a tad bit of blue grease on the gears and 3 in 1 oil on the bearings..
Remember gears get grease..bearings get oil.
WARNING>.be careful disassembling baitcasters..lot's of tiny springs and the handle washers can only go on one way..
