My current products-
For the slide pins -3M Silicone Paste (and dielectric grease) which still has about 1/4 bottle left after many brake jobs over the years. I had used Sil-Gyde for a while but found it got thin and watery even in the tube. After some stuck slide pins with it I tossed it. I also had dome some slide pins with the Black CRC Synthetic brake grease (still have at least 1/3 tub) but found on my Toyota's I had some pretty heavy swelling of the slider boots leading to sticking and ripped boots.
When the 3M is done I will probably get the Mission Silicone. Unless I get some other highly recommended
Black CRC Synthetic brake grease- I used it on some pad ears, sometimes mixed with copper anti-seize. I use it on backing plate contact points.
Copper Anti-Seize- some pad ears, hub and around lug area where rims touch. Also on those MF'r disk brake retainer screws. Started doing the screws at first tire rotation, using the #3 JIS Vessel Impacta Megadora which helps GREATLY years down the road when you need to swap rotors.
Grease packets that come with the brakes - depends on what I am doing. I used the Moly Grease ones yesterday that came with the pads.
Ordered some of the MolyKote 77. I haven't had great experience with the the different colored Permatex ones I tried.
