Default Pro Control fader maintenance

Guys what can I put on the medal shaft of the fader assembly that would be good to prevent drag?

I have noticed 2 of my faders have that Herky jerky motion and that's what feels like is the problem.

Thanks in advance

Some say nothing is best, just make sure the rails and slides are clean. Lint free cloth and some isopropanol. Oils/grease will just attract dirt. A non sticky silicone based lube works well.
I've also seen the fader car bind against the underside of the rubberized slot and cause jerky motion.
