Throttle linkage question

[Tinster]

I live is a salt air environment. Rust and corrosion happen
overnight to exposed metals.

Now that my car is operational on a fairly routine basis,
I notice the throttle is sticking a bit and has difficulty
returning back down to idle rpms. I can push the linkage
with my fingers and the idle drops back to 850 rpms.

I use CRC 6-56 on my boat engine as a routine maintenance
spray over everything under the "hood".

"MARINE FORMULA CRC 6-56 starts wet engines. Lubricates,
loosens rusted parts, protects against corrosion, fights
moisture, keeps stored tools from rusting and has USCG
certification #699. Biodegradable and non-chlorinated formula."

Should I routinely spray the carb linkage with the
CRC 6-56 to keep the moving parts moving? Or is there
a special lubricant for carb linkage?

Thanks as always,

Or........... you could convert to a Ratco Stainless Steel cable conversion and forget all of those stupid linkage issues.

I pack the "ball joints" with grease from time to time and hit the other pivot points with a product called "Break Free CLP" I try to get it onto the throttle shafts, too.
If you are unfamiliar with Break Free you might want to google.
