I use Lubriplate 130 white lithium grease on my 1911 with good results. Also on my Garand, AR-15, and the CZ75B that I carry daily.

You have to apply it and then wipe it off - enough of a film will stay to prevent galling and wear, but not so much it traps particulate and forms an abrasive slurry.

Brake cleaner works to get all the lube and dirt out - take the grips off first, and remember that the brake cleaner will remove all the lube, leaving very clean surfaces that can rust rapidly unless re-lubed.

Regards,
Andrew
