    My wife is the queen of creams, she has one for every use! I would never have thought that there are so many types of cream!

    I think if you keep the Die clean, you can use a little wd40
    Now reading everyone, it might be good to look for a lubricant that doesn't leave much of an oily residue. I also use lanolin with alcohol, but it is also sticky. I have a spray with liquid Vaseline, which at least doesn't dry so quickly, so I'll try which one is best.

    Continue using WD on your guns, keep the gun smiths in business. Never, ever, seen a new gun come from a factory sprayed with WD.... Dad was a WD guy, I was constantly cleaning rust off his tools and shop equipment. Love that crap, keeps a steady flow of repairs and refinishing coming in.

    If you are not going to wipe off the lubricant from each case ... what I do ...
    You might try Lee Case Resizing Lube . It is a water soluble , non-sticky , non-greasy , non-messy , wax like case lube ... it is used in industry as a metal forming lubricant .

    What I do is dissolve as much Lee Case Resizing Lube in alcohol , as will dissolve , strain it and place it in a small spray bottle . Lay cases in shallow container , mist / spritz cases and agitate them around untill all are coated ... pour out on a towel and let them dry ... alcohol evaporates fast 2-3 mins and they dry .
    I resize with no mess and if you want to leave the thin wax on after reloading ... you can because there isn't much on them and it's not greasy or messy ...
    Just a thin dry wax film . Honestly ... most of comes off by just handling the cartridges ... it would be Just the Ticket for Your Needs !

    your idea is a very good idea
    The problem is that here in Argentina it is difficult to get, and very expensive, around 28 dollars a knob
    If I knew what it contained I would copy it and it would be a great solution
