I have upper control arms that use Del-a-lum bushings, and the vendor recommends the Neo ZX-12 grease in that location. This vehicle would see 20-30 minutes of racing on road courses at a time.

I also installed new XRF ball joints that I accidentally confirmed (after busting one open) already have grease in them. But after mostly finishing up the front suspension yesterday, my tech buddy suggested that since they already had Redline grease in the pump, to just use that instead of opening my ZX-12 canister. The only Redline grease I can find is CV-2. But it states to thoroughly remove the old grease to minimize incompatibility and I'm not sure how easy that would be in the bushings and ball joints.

We ran out of time so we'll handle the lube next time. I don't know what the advertised properties for each represent and how they compare. Which is better? Should I consider other options?
