Lube slide-outs?

Not much use even bothering with lubing the slider racks.
Those mechanisms see so little use I doubt lubrication does anything other than cost money.
JMHO

If you are ever in a windy/sandy are you will regret using grease.

There is no way those teeth are going to wear out.

Mr Ed, when I read what you wrote it just made me laugh. I can't wait to see my dentist who is an RV nut so I can report it not only do I brush my slide teeth regularly, but I can floss them to....;)

After brushing the teeth of the gears clean I spray on Teflon lube. In actuality, though, you don't have to lube at all. Just keep the teeth clean. I believe I read somewhere in the instructions that lube isn't necessary. I still spray some on because I feel it can't hurt and may be beneficial to a small extent. Just don't use anything that will attract dirt.

Any dry lube will work but if it's wet product it'll attract dirt, dust etc. and have the opposite effect you're looking for. MOST manufacturers recommend no lube at all but keep it clean.

I would not put anything on the teeth. They will never wear out.

I also considered greasing until I read the manual first. My manual states they are maintenance free. It goes on to state grease or wet sprays could do more harm than good. I guess grease would hold sand, gravel etc and then wear on the gearing. I will be using a dry lube from time to time.

Wire brush the rails/teeth......then spray with a dry graphite lube.
It goes on wet but quickly dries and will not attract dirt/debris.
Wipe the ram rod down with a dry clean cloth then wipe it down with a clean rag sprayed with silicone

DO NOT use any kind of lube that stays wet on rails/teeth.

As for your bedroom slide.......
It is motor/chain driven and can be accessed via underbed storage area. Lift up the bottom panels.
It being 'enclosed' you can use some chain lube but wipe any excess off.
Doesn't take much.
