Which is the best stuff to use to lubricate an up-and-over garage

One of the best things to use is near-perfect, but hard to buy except
in huge quantities. It's the old-style motorbike chain grease in the
big flat tin, where you applied it by soaking the chain in the tin,
whilst heating it to melt the grease. See if you can scrounge someone
from someone with an old Brit.

Another good grease is proper elevator / lift cable / chain grease.
Extremely sticky. You can find it in the better sorts of engineering
supplier.
