some guy at this skateshop in florida told me that you should use this thing called break cleaner to lube up your bearings cause regular lube makes dirt stick. so anyone used something like this or anything like this? he said its a spray and it gets the bearings super clean and fast.

Try using graphite powder, it's a "dry lube" and has next to zero friction.
