I've hauled trailers for many years and never used anything to lubricate. Just how much movement do you think is going on back there? Not much and I never saw any wear on the ball or hitch. Just something to get on your clothes. Get a piece of wax paper to put over the ball when hooking up if it will make you feel better. JMO
I had mine dry for the first year but I did get wear, then I started using grease. KNowing me the grease gets all over the place but I started using a plastic hitch cover, its not 100% but 95%. I use gloves when handling the hitch.
