Thanks for all the info guys. I DO currently use a heavy grease....just keeps getting dirty and then ends up on kids or wifes clothes or skin before I get around to cleaning it. Just looking for a cleaner option. Might look into the white lithium.
The white lithium will turn black in no time. It is only slightly better than regular chassis gresse for soiling clothes and slightly worse for lubrication. There is no perfect answer.
I always pull the ball mount as soon as I unhitch and snap it back in the trailer coupler. It is easy if your DW flips the lever for you. I then padlock the coupler so it is safe for kids and thieves.
