Default spoiler lubrication

Any suggestions on what to use to lubricate the arms that support rear spoiler.

Assume you are getting the same squealing sound that I get when it goes up?

Wurth HHS2000 lubricant all the way. WD40 consistency when sprayed and solid gel like when dried. Water resistent and not attracting dust. You can use it anywhere.

Now that i have a fixed wing i don't worry about it anymore, but when i did have the stock one , i used to get that annoying noise. I use something that was made for mororcycles, its called chain wax, i cannot tell you how well it worked, if you have a friend with a bike try it, its not messy and worked really well for me.

+1 on chain wax. Goes on as a liquid so it penetrates, and then solidifies into a lubircating wax. Dosent attract dirt either. You can get it at any motorcycle shop, or probably most bicycle shops too.
