While rebuilding the rear brakes I cleaned up the splined hubs. I usually coat the splines with general purpose grease, so as I have clean hubs this would be an opportune time to apply something else.
What do you recommend?
The local Auto store is still open although on restricted hours for now.

+1. But be careful the splines can be very sharp. I used a 1" paint brush.

Agreed but by design they get sharp over time & greasy hand cut easily.
