I like to take my bow when it gets wet inside to dry, wipe all you can dry with a clean cloth. I have used TriFlo (Teflon Based Lubricant) and wiped down my bow with it as a preventative measure if the weather was calling for light rain or drizzle......after I will wipe the bow down with scent killer, although I will avoid getting the TriFlo in the area;s of the wheel, Cam or axle area's. So far I have seen no ill affects on any of my bows from the TriFlo.
