Using something like Break Free over extended periods of time (without using a solvent on the treated area) will create a buildup of teflon that will stay put and continue to provide excellent lubrication, even after the oil it was suspended in is gone.
The grease I use is Tetra, a high performance synthetic gun grease that does not thicken, no matter how cold it is and I use it on the slide rails too. I clean everything and regrease after each range trip, very sparingly.
