I just didn't find that it offered anything special to suggest it over any of the other brake lubes I have seen. The price I paid was considerably less, but I still have the full tube. My switch to silicone has made this whole concept moot, since I now use silicone lubricants for rebuilding. Did you mean that your were REBUILDING your brake cylinders? There would be no reason to do any of this if you were installing new cylinders. I guess I just haven't looked for the brake grease.
