Long story short, I was cleaning some dust/grit from the inside of a used K50/1.4 I had bought a while back and used a little too much alcohol such that some alcohol got into the helicoid dissolving some of the grease.

I had only removed the filter and focus ring to clean and glue the distance scale back. Now the focus ring turns tighter/uneven.

What's the closest to OEM/most preferable grease product I can get to reapply onto the threads?

(I'm not skilled enough to do a full strip disassembly. I only plan on taking off the filter and focus ring again and with the lens extended (at minimum focus distance) to reveal the affected threading, swab on some extra grease back)

Thanks in advance and looking forward to what you guys and gals have to say!
