I use some spray lubricant. I believe it is mixture of teflon (PTFE, whatever they call it) and lithium soap base lubricant. Easy to just spray beneath the bike.
If you want to be thorough: 1st some degreaser, then wash it off, then some WD40. Let it drip. Then apply some grease and spray lubricant.
I got cheap some red "coplex lithium grease". It is very good. This explains advantages:

The complex grease doesn't get more gummy in cold than the regular one, at least it appears that way.
When in doubt:
Elastica - Vaseline

Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
