    Trailer Hitch Lock Lubricant/Protectant Recommendation

    What do you recommend for a trailer hitch lock lubricant/protectant to be used periodically in the lock mechanism? When you do not remove the trailer hitch lock for long periods of time it tends to become non-removable, requiring it to be broken/cut off to remove it. Thanks in Advance.
