At a Gun shop buy CLP. It penetrates cleans and lubes, and protects from rust.
About 10.00 for large spray can. Spray it in or on, let set for a few minutes and spray with more. after a good while wipe off excess that there might be.

Silicoen might be the better option you jack after it is cleaned up or out. Something dry won't hold as much dirt.
