A light lubricant. I used wd-40 general purpose and it worked a treat (and still is).
WD40 is not a Lubricant! and I wouldn’t do that anyway. Had similar for over a year and 4 trips to dealer (Bristol) who couldn’t hear it - on 5th visit I went out with Tech recorded it ! Boot latch - first Taycan boot latch jammed and I had no rear access for 5 months - car sold - anyone on here got **23UAR ?

It works and is still working for me so proof in the pudding I'd say.

Oh and the multipurpose one is a lubricant.

The Original WD 40 isn’t a lubricant but WD40 seems to have become a brand with all sorts of products!
