A multifunctional, light duty lubricant comprising an insoluble particulate lubricant in suspension in a solution of a soluble wax, an oil component, a volatile solvent, and a surfactant, having the property that the insoluble particulate lubricant is sloughed off when foreign contaminants contact the dried lubricant, is disclosed. A method for lubricating a moving part exposed to dirt or other contaminants, comprising the steps of applying to the part a lubricant formulation containing a finely divided insoluble particulate material suspended in a volatile hydrocarbon solvent, a soluble wax, and an oil component, evaporating the solvent from the lubricant formulation to leave a relatively dry lubricant on the part, and then allowing a portion of the dry lubricant to flake away with contaminants that contact the relatively dry lubricant, is disclosed.
