I recently picked up a can of PB-Blaster Teflon Lube...  It is really 
fantastic for these sorts of things.  The Teflon is carried in a very 
light solvent that penetrates very well, and evaporates quickly leaving 
the teflon behind.   What's left behind isn't sticky, or greasy.

It seems like the perfect lube for places where you don't want grease 
collecting grit and grime (like garage door tracks, and such.)

On my Milano it has cured squeaky door hinges, and balky locks and 
latches, where all the other lubricants I tried failed.   I was really 
surprised by it's effect on my driver's side door lock.   The lock was 
such a pain, I though someone had tampered with it...  just getting the 
key in and out was a challenge.  A quick shot of this stuff, and it was 
better than brand new.   The key practically fell in.

Good stuff.
