Just an oily rag, or graphite, silicone, grease?

Presumably just needs to be very very light.

On the Stannah there is a plastic coated rail, I think that plastic
wheels run on that, and a rack for the driving pinion. I'd be inclined
to wipe the rail with a dry cloth with just a very light spray of WD40
on it, and give the rack a light spray of WD40 avoiding spraying the
wall or carpet.

I would not use graphite, or grease unless the instructions explicitly
say so. Silicone spray would also be OK for the tube.
