Source for Slip Plate graphite spray?

Anybody know a good source for slip plate? I ordered a case on line at a great price a few years ago but forgot where I got it and I'm out. Now I'm in a hurry to get some coming before my next trip! YIKES!

Any Superglide hitch owners out there that have a good source? Thanks!
  • I use a graphite spray paint called EZSlide, available at Tractor Supply. I can find it readily there, and it is cheaper than Slip-Plate. It has not been tested nor approved by Pullrite, but it has worked well for me for several years.

    Slip Plate and EZSlide are spray paints with the "pigment" being graphite; it's used to lubricate and protect the rails on Pullrite Superglide hitches.

    You could use it on a standard hitch in place of or in addition to a plastic disc, but it's not necessary in that application and it is somewhat messy to use.

  • Our Home Depot has it, and any Grainger, Tru-Value, Farm Supply, Dyers RV, Home Depot, Lowes, Camping World, NAPA Auto....etc.
  • I bought a can a month ago at Camping World, Fastenal sells it in this area too.
