There is nothing wrong in using Graphite grease or Kopr Kote grease as both will repel water the trick is to wipe any excess off after using the vehicle the first couple of times. I have used Kopr Kote grease for years on all types of equipment including springs, it is impregnated with very small particals of cooper (which can been seen in sun light) It is very good on springs.
Kopr Kote was made by Ampol and I am on my last half a tin just hope some one still makes it.
