I would not use the plastic because it may build up a thickness. If the treated section is part of the cable that gets pulled into the housing or sheath some of the thickness could scrape off the cable and stay inside eventually causing a bind.

There are several silicone based water resistant spray on lubes but I would use one that is heavier and has the ability to cling to the cable while it works itself inside the housing.
