Did I use the correct silicone lube for my slider pins?

[messerschmitt]

I have done my front pads. I lubed my sliding pins using the following from RockAuto:

More Information for PERMATEX 24129

Did I use the correct thing? Videos on youtube generally used 3M Silicone, but that is very expensive in Canada. Is the Silicone Ceramic lube from the link a good choice for using on the caliper sliding pins?

Thanks

Yes, that's probably the best brake lube made.

I'm a Sil-glyde guy myself, but what you used should be fine.

I use Ford XG-3 grease myself. But the grease you used will work as well.

Thank you all. Because it said "ceramic", I started to second doubt myself, even though it says silicone lube.

As long as it doesnt dry out into gritty goo like the purple should be ok.. or swell any rubber bushings if you have that sort of caliper pin(s)

I used this stuff once and NEVER again

Sil-glyde fan. there might be better stuff but it has great compatibility and lasts fine on pins.
I use paste lub on backing and pad ears etc.

That's good stuff, but it also has a really long shelf life, so I'd buy a larger quantity for lower cost/use, or if your braking doesn't cause extreme heat, just go with a silicone paste and skip the ceramic, then it has other automotive uses too.

Is this reply regarding my usage of https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=10450309&pt=10802&jsn=1 ?

Or was it a reply to the poster above regarding sil-glyde?

^ Yes, the permatex silicone ceramic. I'd use it or any all silicone paste over sil-glyde which breaks down at lower temp and oxidizes. I'd only pick a caster oil based lube if you have a rubber compatibility concern, then at its price point, it's at least better than petroleum based.
