slide lube

what are u using to lube slideout tracks?
  • Lots of discussion and controversy about this subject:

    Manufacturer says in the manual not to use anything.

    Many folks use some kind of silicone or a dry lube spray (so that it doesn't attract dirt).

    Here is one.>>>Here<<<
  • I use the same grease that anyone would use to grease their lawn mower or car. Just a little on your finger or rag and spread on the rails. very light coat. only way it gets dirty is when its open and you are driving down the road and we know that aintgonna happen.
  • I use dry spray lube. Works for me and it doesn't attract dust and dirt. Quiets my slides down when moving.

    Huh???

    How exactly is protected from dust and debris when the slide is retracted? I can see all around mine when it's pulled in.
