Now on the other hand, Blaster Dry Graphite spray, Jig-A-Loo Spry, Protect-All Spray or Rem-Oil, won't gum up or attract road debris and gunk..yet the lubrication stays where it's put.
Half the challenge in keeping the slides working nicely is keeping grime and dirt off the gearing/mechanism......for me the 303 has kept the hardware clean and looking new, it also leaves a light long lasting residue on the surface.......try it......- Aerospace 303 is great at keeping things protected from Ozone and sun Damage...but it ain't no lube!

- Actually NO..white lithium grease is just that 'grease'
Grease will attract dirt, gum up, cause abrasion.
In the owners manual for your slide out you will probably find a statement not to use grease.
A good cleaning with wire brush is all that is needed.
But if you want to use a lubricate on the rack/pinion after thoroughly cleaning and wire brushing a little coat of 'dry graphite spray lube' works. It goes on wet then completely dries and does not attract dirt.
On the piston arm.......just wipe down with a clean dry cloth.
For the slide out seals/wipers.....baby powder/talcum powder
