Slide out lube

[stufarmer]

I'm looking for the (best...what ever that means), product for inside the Slide Out Channels ? I've maintained the Gear track & Motor Wheels but it's time to do something for the Steel Slide out Channels. I've used Amsoil products for just about everything in the past, and I know they make a grease, but I'd like to ensure I'm using the correct product for the need. Your suggestions please.

I have a Lippert Shwintek slide and they say to use PTFE spray. I couldn't find the brand they recommend locally (CRC Power Lube with PTFE) but did find the WD-40 version at the local hardware store.

There's also a video by a Winnebago tech that demonstrates where/how to apply it.

This works well where you don't want to attract dirt:

I use dry silicone in a spray can . It can be obtained at most auto parts and hardware stores.
Grease or oils will collect dirt.

MFG. typically recommends NO LUBES as they will collect dirt/become abrasive

I wire brush mine down and then light spray of 'DRY GRAPHITE SPRAY' (goes on wet then dries immediately---does not attract dirt)
BUT can rub off so DON'T spray on bottom of slide out as it might transfer to flooring

I've used the product for Slide-outs sold at the RV stores. Also the Metal Prep spray from Amsoil. Just hoping there was something that had a better effect on the Slide sounds.

We use slide lube by camco. a dry silicone lubricant that does NOT attract dirt, never would use grease, I don't like cleaning the cake dirt. Been using it on our slides for a couple of seasons with no issues
