stab jack lube

Paraffin works well. Take an old candle and rub it along the screw part.

Anyone use graphite spray?

Regular WD 40 a couple times a year. No issues with dirt attraction.

That is exactly what I use. You don't want anything that can attract dirt.

When we first got our trailer I made the mistake of using wheel bearing grease on the lead screws of the manual stabilizer jacks. They turned so easily that under pressure they would unwind or turn back several turns when the pressure was relieved. The fix was to remove the grease with solvent and spray on a lite coat of WD40 to prevent any chance of rusting.

WD-40® SPECIALIST® WATER RESISTANT SILICONE LUBRICANT

Dry lube.

Another vote for motorcycle chain wax. It's dry, stays where you put it, and it repels everything.

Use WD40 a few times a year, and it doesn't seem to attract dirt and dust that much.
