There is some stuff that I have from back in motorcycle days. I don't
remember where I got it, but it said "salt water resistant" on the package.
I still use it (the little container lasts a long, long, LONG time). I use
it to lube the PTO shaft on the tractor and mower. Also use it on the hitch
pins/draw pins for different accessories. Very sticky stuff, but it's not
black. More like a dark brown.
I could take a picture of it, but that container must be 30 years old...
