I use Imperial sizing wax. I don't use any kind of pad, just grab the case, dip the neck in the graphite bead stuff to lube the inside of the neck, then a bit of imperial on my index finger and spin the case between the fingers. I've never stuck a case doing this and it takes a lot longer to type than it does to do, it goes very quick.
I've seen more guys stick cases with that spray lube junk than anything else. I can't think of one good reason to not use imperial sizing wax. If it bugs you to get it on your hands then you need to stay in front of the TV.
