Default Ventus B, Discus ect aileron connecting rod/slide lube

Ha ha ha lol! I love Ras. But I think everyone missed the meaning in the first post, my fault for not making it clear. The Rods tha attach to the Ventus B OUT at the aileron are a 12mm solid rod that are canted at the aileron and then go through A slide opening of just the mm or 2 wider than the rod.. This slide is probably 10" long and runs span wise in the wing and are made of some tough plastic delron or PTFE. The wear is occuring on the Stainless solid rods which I am sure the factory intended as they made them solid.. And anyone who has as much time in a ventus b asbusy I do will surely. understandhow they can be used enough to wear. So back to the original any good ideas of a dry lubricant that will help prevent wear on the rods?
