Stiff light stands

I have some knackered old stands, they're clean but starting to really stick so what's good for lubricating them?

Something like 3 in 1 oil or would a silicone spray be a better choice?

Doesn't it contain a wax substitute or even real wax?
 
Yes, it contains wax or something like it, it works well for this purpose
 
IF they are steel or untreated aluminium stands that are slightly rusted/corroded a gentle scrub with wire wool with a squirt of WD40 will clean the surfaces up for smoother movement. ( this also works great on old Hi-Glide rails that have become sticky & don't let the carriages move freely)
