Default Best lubricant for steel hinges?

I use one of those bicycle chain mixes consisting of wax & solvent.
You shake the bottle vigorously to make sure the wax is dissolved (it
settles out over time), then put a few drops in the top of the hinge
(with a rag around it to protect the door & frame). The solvent
evaporates & leaves a bit of wax throughout the hinge.
