Auto Belt Dressing. Spray a little on. Your brakes will lock up.
This is only a quick fix though. I personally would rather have well lubed new housing, quality lever, quality brake, quality pads etc.

Simple Green is an excellent cleaner that will make your brakes rock.
dude...:
i remember when i first started riding, the letters page in ride uk each month would have like 2 letter minimum about people making their own braking mixtures to rub on their rims so their brakes would lock up better lol

i wipe mine over every week with a bit of white spirit and a old cloth , then if you really want , add a small amount of coke (not the white gear!!) to the rim for maximum stick and scream sounding worse than a elephant raping a duck
