Never applied anything in that area so just wanted to hear some input.
My go-to lubricant for things of this nature is a product called TRI-FLOW. It contains TEFLON which helps things "slide" against each other as well as helps to release moisture, dust, dirt, grime, etc.

You can find local vendors that sell it by googling Tri Flow...or check your local bicycle shops because it is used a lot in that market for lubricating chains and cables etc.
