You need something that acts like Wax-Oil. Flows into where it's needed then semi-sets. Graphite powder and white grease won't flow. They need something like the pressure of a grease gun to get where they are needed.
You won't have much luck with an ignition lock unless you use a grease gun.-----------
You only have to look at a cross section through the ignition lock to see what I mean. Those plungers and springs need liquid lubrication.---
That white grease is great on boats as it's waterproof. Used it for over 20 years of boating off Teignmouth in south west Devon in my sea fishing days. Prop shaft seals, pulleys and cables etc.
Better off with LMH grease in car applications. Wheels ,bearings, bonnet cables etc.
