It's what the professionals use.
Petroleum-based lubricants, like Vaseline and heavy-duty bearing grease, may have a tendency to:
  • migrate in very hot weather (inherent weakness of low melting points)
  • water out or gunk out
  • interfere with conductivity after repeated handling... it's messy.
The Würth spray congeals in 10 seconds and is chemical- and corrosion-resistant.
Vaseline releases flammable vapours. I would not advise it.

No problems using WBG since ~1970 and excellent results!

Commercial spray on cures havnt lasted more than a year or so for me.
