Anybody use a lubricant on your bimini or dodger zippers to extend their life or make easier to zip?

We use the stick lubricant on our boat. Something else to do with your double ended zippers like on the dodger opening is to park them in different locations every time you use them. A little to port, a little to starboard, back to center and repeat. I forgot to put some on my bottle koozie and it took me a while to free that zipper.
