WD-40 is not a lubricant. Silicone spray is excellent except you will

WD-40 says "lubricates" on the can.

Gunk and similar brands of "silicone" spray are just WD-40 with a few drops
of silicone oil for laughs. Odd that you think it is "excellent" but WD-40
is not.

Silicone is just for laughs? Water can be a lubricant also but I doubt
it would be your first choice.
