Motorcycle Chain Lube is the stuff.

I use Halfords own, or Castrol
Both have fixed nozzles which allow you to direct a good squirt. It penetrates between the leaves, then dries (in a few seconds) to a white wax.
Best to jack up the back of the car first, to take the load off the spring.
Also, taking the rear wheels off gives easier access.
