Default Silcone spray works better than WD40

WD-40 is primarily a water displacement (that's what the "WD" stands for) agent for protecting metal with some lubricating capability. It doesn't last long...and it collects dirt. I'm finding that as long as the jacks are dry at time of application, spraying them with silicone spray produces a coating that lubricates much better, lasts a whole lot longer, and doesn't attract dust nearly as badly as WD-40.
