Maybe a "chain lube" type product? - just thinking out loud... Good luck

WD-40 is my GO-TO light lubricant/surface protector for hinges, bare unprotected metal surfaces, or any tight places I want a light lubricate that penetrates, leaves a light lube,repels water and resists rust and corrosion. Heavier "greases" will not penetrate without high pressure and are generally messier. If I am concerned about dripping, I use a cloth to back up/catch and wipe off excess.

WD-40 attracts dirt. White lithium grease hardens over time. Try WURTH HKS, it’s a penetrating grease that is very high quality.
