Grease that doesn't attract dirt

I have a friend's husband tell me about a product that he uses on his levelers that doesn't attract dirt. I thought it was called grease lightning but perhaps I confused it with the movie Grease. :) Anyone hear of a product like this. They are enjoying a cruise at the moment or I would ask him!
  • FYI, Boeshield is NOT a lubricant, it is a corrosion inhibitor. I routinely use it on my machinery. But it is no more a lubricant then WD-40 is (which stands for Water Displacement formula 40).

    The White-Lightening chain grease appears to me to be a possibility. It's a similar environment to the the gearing on a stabilizer.

    Personally I use spray teflon lub.
  • I"m a bit more "old school". When I need a dry film lubricant I go directly to the source and use flake dry graphite after cleaning the item to be lubricated.
  • Fluid film looks good too. I'm sure all products you recommend through experience will work well
  • Thank you! White lightning may be it. I will verify on his return and let you all know.
  • The only thing that comes to mind is T9 Boeshield developed by Boeing. Good stuff, I use it
  • The only "grease lightning" that I can remember is a grease cleaning spray. It actually is a good decreaser. I can't imagine a liquid type lubricant not attracting dirty and debri. If you have found something that doesn't I think we would all benefit.
  • Greased Lightning is a product available.....however, it is a powerful cleaning solution that would never be used as a conventional lubricant. It is much like Simple Green. But in my opinion, it is no where near as good.
