Plain old Crisco shortning on the rail. Scent free, can find it at any grocery store and for like $3 you get a tub of it, slick as snot. I use Bohning string wax on my string, and with this combo I have over 1,000 shots on my string and the serving looks like new. I keep it in a little No.11 BP cap tin in my hunting pack.
I also use this Crisco in my blackpowder pistol to cap off each ball in the cylinder.

1,000 shots isn't saying much until you name the bow.
There are many bows out there that the string to track/rail contact is VERY light.
To name a couple, Darton and some of the Hortons and the Bowtech Desert Stryker is also fairly light.

Jig a loo works great on deck. Beeswax based was (same as I use to make em) on strings.
