Punch and die maintenance

An inspector can simply drag their fingernail from the inside of the cup out to the outer edge and if a J-hook is present, his or her nail will catch on the hook. If the J-hook is light, it can be removed by polishing. In addition, polishing restores the cup’s mirror luster

Can plz named some branded lubricants which can be used before storage of Punches

Thanx
