Machinist question

Whenever I draw file I make sure I #1 have a very good file. #2 I take some regular chalk, like used in schools, and scrape onto the file, filling every little groove. #3 use a file card every few strokes to clean the file. Repeat # 2 and #3 as often as necessary. The chalk acts like what you are trying to do with WD-40 and kerosene. I just prefer to work in a dry environment. Besides chalk was used long before WD-40 and possibly before kerosene! :-)
