Lithium grease -- what to shop for?
Can anyone suggest any specifics on what to look for, in terms of brand, characteristics, applications, etc? Thanks

It doesn't matter. Lithium Grease, PW Grease, Park PolyLube or whatever you get at an autoparts store will work fine.

I feel P B power blaster clear cable and hinge lube is better. It is a clear spray grease that dries clear and does not attract dust. It is a heaver Boeing lube.
