that grease is the way to go, but what kind?

=========
If these are wood slides, old time solution is to rub with a
candle stub or a bar of [real] soap such as brown laundry or
ivory. Grease will attract dirt/grit and is messy. You
will have to clean and reapply grease or oil fairly
frequently. Much less frequently with candle wax or soap.
