I lube with carbide dies. I use Hornady One Shot aerosol, and there is no clean-up afterwards. It dries almost instantly after spraying, it only takes a very light spray (i hit all the cases from three sides, to ensure uniform coverage), and that's it. It's a dry film lubricant.
I've been doing that for at least fifteen years, and I don't know how many thousands of rounds (all straight wall handgun rounds). I don't have any problems with the lube gumming up my dies, or with the lube gumming up my chambers.
