I hate to admit it but I have never done anything to my trigger, not even WD40 the mechanism. I figure that the more lube on the trigger the more grit gets attached to it. Apparently lots of guys spray the trigger mechanism with WD40. One tip from me is to heat the wax with a hair drier after applying it to the serving. You'll find that here is less wear and applications.
I think the lube from Ten Point has teflon in it. If you applied it and let it set like any CLP over night and wipe it off it can only reduce friction. You may have to remove any wax from the rail with acetone before it can enter the pores of the aluninum tho. If that works then Molydiblendum Disulfide (MOS2) may work better(the same stuff that is used on bullets).
Dnk,
I wouldn't recommend using WD-40 on any trigger mechanism. It would be alright in the summer, but it will freeze in the winter, rendering your trigger helpless!
Thats good because like I said in my post, I have never put anything on my trigger mechanism. Its not because I don't want to but the Exocet is so maintenace free that I never think of it. I've had that sucker since 2002 and its still a tickin. I wish my wife was as maintenace free! LOL, just kidding, just kidding, OUCH!

That's good to know about the Exocet. I bought the Exocet 200 last year at the end of season. I'm going to have it out this year. If I would ever put an oil on my trigger, it would be a good quality gun oil.

I use birchwood Casey's gun action cleaner (SYNTHETIC STOCK SAFE) to blow out any crud that might have slipped in. Dries like alcohol withno oil. I may at some point give it a light light shot with RemOil. That W-D stuff will gum up anything but it has almost as many uses as duct/duck tape
