After repairing a Hirschmann (BMW antenna) several years ago, they recommended no lube on their antenna masts. However, they do offer some type of "cleaner" in little Handi-Wipe kind of packaging.
In my experience, I just clean the antenna, apply silicone spray, then wipe off as much as possible. Maybe not doing much except cleaning, but seems to help. Need to repeat every few weeks, especially when driving in salty road conditions.
Antennas that are stuck down need to warm up, probably stuck due to frozen lube and/or dirt.
