Default Sunroof Maintenance Suggestions

Hey guys, just curious what you all have for suggestions on keeping my sunroof maintained. It slides and opens fine but seems to have slowed a bit - any way to grease or clean the tracks/sliders, etc? What can I do to keep this badboy working well?

I have always heard white lithium grease was good

I clean/lube the tracks of my sunroof on an annual basis. I wipe as much of the old grease off as I can then use a rag soaked in acetone to clean down in the tracks. Then (as Tadd mentioned) I apply a coat of white lithium grease to the tracks and operate the sunroof a couple times to evenly distribute the grease on the tracks.
