Get some blue lock tight such as this: https://www.amazon.com/Loctite-Heavy-Duty-Threadlocker-Single/dp/B000I1RSNS

It will keep everything tight but allowyou to remove it again later if needed

Blue Loctite is what you want.

I highly recommend checking out the Blue Loctite Stick. You don't have to worry about it running, spilling or drying out. It's super easy to apply and stays where you put it.

Purple Loctite is better for soft metals and tiny bolts. That's what it is designed for. That's what it is designed for. Blue Loctite can get a little too tough sometimes.

I keep one of those in my pit-box/tool bag and I use the gel at my bench:
https://www.amazon.com/Permatex-24010-Strength-Threadlocker-Applicator/dp/B000HBM564

Also use orange for things I don't want welded (ie use red), but want a bit more holding power than the blue gel gives me:
https://www.amazon.com/Permatex-25210-Strength-Removable-ThreadLocker/dp/B07R6B87S5

For grease, I use lucas red-n-tacky:
https://www.amazon.com/Lucas-Oil-10574-Tacky-GREASE/dp/B0049SUK5Y

I only really use that on steel internal transmission gears and differential ring/pinions.

I use wax based lube, white lightning clean ride for everything else:
https://www.amazon.com/White-Lightning-Bicycle-Clean-Cleaning/dp/B07XX6YD51

Hinge pins, spur/pinion, cvd cups/joints, axle sliders, etc. Tried the Epic Ride version and didn't care for it as it never completely dries. The dry wax lube doesn't collect dirt like wet lube/grease/oil does.

I use standard old 3-in-1 for my bearings.

I've been using general purpose grease in my bearings.
