If it goes on wet and the carrier doesn't flash off, then it will attract dirt. Dri-Slide, or, an aerosol type graphite based lube attracts less dirt.

I prefer one of the alcohol-base moly lubes. Paint it on, let the alcohol "flash off" as Malm suggests, and you are left with a very thin, dry coat of moly. Has worked very well on several of my rifles.

If you need something even slicker, some brands use the alochol-carried moly as a base coat, then have an additional powder coat of even finer moly which you "burnish" in after the base coat has dried.

My country gal's just a moonshiner's daughter, but I love her still.

Militec!!!! If you apply it like the directions say, the stuff is an awesome lube for dusy environments.
