Default Rigging grease recommendations for long-term-rigged gliders

My knowledgeable person also mentioned graphite as good for long term rigged. What form is this, the powdery stuff, or is there a pasty type "graphite grease"? Not familiar with it....

Cheers,

My sailplane manual says use a Molybdenum grease. All the people around me say White Lithium is just fine for daily assembly. The local A&P says use graphite if you keep the glider assembled for a long time.

I don't know. I just do what I'm told.
