I use Dupont Teflon Multi-Lube dry wax lubricant. Cheap, works great, and I get it at Lowes.

It is not bad for your o-rings used as you describe. Works for cleaning just like kerosene. Gunk comes right off. I use it sprayed on an old/disposable shop towel. Great for cleaning your rims too. It's a wonder product for sure.
Nice vehicle collection by the way. Schweet!
