Question Door latch clean up

Also posted in "Body Shop Tech" Forum:

'72 Lemans Sport Vert ... just removed the door latches to clean 'em up and reinstall. Cleaned up well, and I understand that white lithium sprayed in them will give them some better function.

When I removed, the three screws on the door appeared to have some "white waxy" substance between the screw and door indentation. Probably to get a better water seal from water leaking in the door gap and getting inside the door (my best guess).

Any ideas what the white wax substance was/is? Or any recommendations on what to put on the threads and head of the screws to get a good water seal?

TIA,
Ogre
