Get a big bar and use detailing fluid or even window film soap for lube.
Get a couple bars, if you drop one, toss it a neighbor, don't reuse it.

Jewelers tin oxide also works, but boy is it messy and lots more work.

Do you have to use the spray that comes with the bar? Can you use something else?
