First it was WD40, and later Breakfree in the 1960's. RIG has always been among the best for long term storage. However, even Breakfree CLP leaves a gummy yellow residue. It is a mix of cleaner, lubricant and preservative, which is convenient in the field. But it's better to separate the 3 functions. Breakfree makes the separate components, but they are hard to find that way in the stores.

I use Shooter's Choice or Butch's Boreshine for cleaning, and Corrosion-X for lubrication and protection. Both FP10 and Corrosion-X are the best for lubrication, SUPER smooth, much better than gun oil. Corrosion-X freed-up stuck cylinders for me, so it's now my favorite "smoothie". It also passed my salt-spray test on nails better than all the others, and cold weather functioning. It's a synthetic and very light consistency.
