It does present some possible issues with getting dirty but before I install it in the receiver, or take it out of the receiver, I wipe it down and remove most of the grease so it doesn't really present a big issue vs the benefits of trying to lube w/Dawn all the time. That was my experience others have different ones I'm sure.
They sell clip on plastic plates for the L brackets. I made a couple years ago. dont use lube there. Still get enough hold for sway too.

Use some poly grease from the local implement dealer... they can set you up with something that sticks
