They are called dry lubes, a kind of lube film very adhesive that doesnt atract dust and avoid wear in metal-metal contact.

I find a great substitute is the dark grey grease that comes with the dremels. Its easier to get in Europe than most other usable products. I even use it on the thrust bearing on the clutch. Sticks there great and keeps the dirt out all day. Only needs replacing when you strip the car to clean it.
