Some people probably use WD-40 for a "personal lubricant", but that doesn't
mean it's a good idea.

RuGlyde is the right stuff. You can also get it at NAPA. I've never
seen it in a container smaller than a gallon. Here's the NAPA part
numbers from http://www.napaonline.com:

RuGlyde Gallon, in an opaque white gallon jug with "RuGlyde" and the NAPA
symbol on the label:
Item#: BK 7651338
Price: $13.49

This is blue stuff, in a transparent gallon jug that looks like a
windshield washer jug, the picture of the label doesn't say RuGlyde
on it, just the NAPA symbol and "Tire Mounting Lubricant".
Gallon:
Item#: BK 7652434
Price: $7.49

RuGlyde 5 gallon bucket:
Item#: BK 8272511
Price: $63.49

RuGlyde 50 gallon metal drum (no price given):
Item#: BK 8272532

I use washing up liquid. There again, I use it on my hair if we're out
of shampoo.
