What should I use to lubricate display hinges?

Many of my PowerBooks, but especially my 5300, could benefit from having their hinges lubricated. What do you guys use?

I typically use some type of white silicon grease for such things as its generally kinder on plastics than lithium grease

Thanks! Do you have any specific product you could link?

That's what I have on the shelf right now, but only because I use ambersil products a lot at work. It's a pretty common product group that you should be able to find easily enough from a number of brands
