DeOxit will clean the pot but not lube it. After the DeOxit dries, shoot it with CaiLube which will provide lubrication of the carbon tracks and thus reduce future wear. CaiLube can be used alone but it doesn't contain as much de-oxidizing agent as DeOxit. I find the two-step approach works best.
Another grease you might consider is silver bearing conductive grease (made by CircuitWorks). This is most handy for capacitors where excellent electrical contact through the bearings is required. I find it especially useful for variable caps in transmitters and tuners where the circulating currents can get quite high. It is rather expensive but a little goes a long way.
