Default surface plate care

On Mar 4, 12:39*am, "stu" no where just yet wrote:
I've just bought a "precision plate". I think its made from steel rather
than cast iron, but i haven't cleaned it yet. I doubt I will be using it
very often. It's covered with some sort of grease and waxed paper. Once I've
used it I want to regrease it. Are then any "greases" that are better than
others for this? I've been told lanolin is the way to go.
thanks

I like this for that:

It resembles WD-40 but actually works.
