Best thing to make curtain rings slide?

I've tried silicone spray and beeswax, and still the wooden rings on my wooden curtain pole refuse to slide after a time or two. They used to be ok.

Has anyone got any longer lasting solutions, as they're not very accessible.

TIA

    Hi Susy :)
    Have you tried running candle wax across the rails? It worked on my kitchen drawers when they kept jamming
