I was reading posts about using SuperLube and realized I have been using it for all kinds of stuff at work for years. I just didn't make the connection...
Every technician at a GM dealership should have a tube or two in their toolbox as GM recommends it for many repairs. You can also get it a any GM dealership parts department for around $10 a tube. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f379/h22luda720/photo6.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f379/h22luda720/photo4.jpg Hope it helps! Btw... First post on here. seems to be a wealth of knowledge in this forum! Will be posting my build soon! |

That's an excellent lubricant. It's perfect for semi-auto frame rails and barrel exteriors. I own quite a few Sig pistols and the bluing on the barrels tends to wear off quickly
with even just a little use. My newest Sigs show no discernible wear to the bluing when applied from day-one. I also use it on my ARs. I use it to lube my charging handle, the charging handle groove in the upper receiver, and the bolt carrier group. I use it on the bolt and the carrier. It creates an excellent carbon barrier, even on the bolt tail. It doesn't melt, it doesn't run, it doesn't burn off, it stays where you put it. There's as much there when you are done shooting as when you started. Cleaning the carbon is as simple as wiping the parts off. Another cool thing to use it for is to wipe on the front of revolver cylinders. Those pesky black rings wipe right off even after a lot of shooting. CLP burns right off and those black rings don't come off anywhere near as easily as with Super Lube. Super Lube is clear/opaque. Oil doesn't separate from it. And it's MUCH hard to stain your cloths with than a red grease. Super Lube is cheap, readily available, has excellent wear properties if the wear-test results in Super Lube's specs are any indication. It has become my grease of choice. |

Haha, that might even be the stuff I used back in 2007 to stop the leak in my WS.6's T-Tops! I had forgotten all about that.
I still am not a fan of PTFE in environments where it will be combusted. Pistol rails/barrels are totally different than AR BCG's. Teflon is no bueno for that, IMO |

What don't you like about slip EWG? I have been debating about using slip 2000. Quoted:

harbor freight oddly enough carries it too yep. local HF has the grease & the oil in stock. will be trying it when i run out of slipEWG No problems with the slipEWG but I am gonna try the superlube grease when I run out of ewg just because of all the great reviews and its a fraction of the $. I only use grease on the high wear spots and either eezox or clp everywhere else depending on the gun so it'll be a while before I run out of the ewg anyway. |

Pistol rails/barrels are totally different than AR BCG's. Teflon is no bueno for that, IMO I contacted Synco, the maker of Super Lube, before I started using it on my BCGs and they stated the PTFE they use in their grease doesn't burn until temps reach over well 600 degrees F. In other words, the grease itself will burn and char away before the PTFE will. ARs don't get that hot. It's a non-issue. BTW, Break Free CLP has telfon in it. People have been using it for years on BCGs with no ill-effects. I think its a non-issue. Synco has been VERY forthcoming in communications, answering every question I've posed to them in just a day or too. I even directed them to my Frog Lube comparison test and they commented to me on that, too. It was a person at Synco, and avid shooter, who clued me in to using the grease on the front of revolver cylinders. |
