What's the alternative to pipe oil?

I prefer 'Anchor Lube" for tough work, including Stainless Steels. It is green, But must be wiped off immediately to prevent discoloration
There is also a clear oil product on the market that leaves no stain and I use it also. It is called "Butter Cut"

It's funny, but Ridgid oil doesn't seem to be staining my tools. Moly-Dee turned my lathe saddle grey in a hurry.

All--
I never had stains on the mill table until I started using sulfurized cutting fluid. As others have said, they won't wipe off. However, I figured they were cosmetic and did not damage anything either in the short or long runs.

I've had success using kerosine or thinner with scotch-brite; also paste wax gives results.
Cheers.
