Mainsail track cleaner/lube
Raised the main today and it jammed repeatedly. Time to clean and lube the track. It is internal round slugs. I have a thing made just for this but printed on it is "use white gas". Surely there is a better product to clean and lube the track as I haul this thing up and down the track. Any suggestions?

You can buy a can of sail track lube.
Use it all the time, works "like magic" Silicone based though, so watch where it goes

Used that to get it up but need to clean the track completely and then lube. The track cleaner says use white gas but there must be something better?
