I just bought a Shadow Bronze ceracoated Glock.  The thing is beautiful and shoots like a Glock, even ejection is dead consistent so far.  The only thing I've noticed: in my other new G4 Glocks is a copper colored compound on the guide track for the connector that is on the slide...it's missing on the ceracoated G19.  I assume it isn't critical, that whatever company did the ceracoating just didn't reapply it///I'm certain it wasn't Glock...since the entire pistol is ceracoated, frame and all.  They did a nice job of it...looks as good as my LWRCs.

Can I just put some grease on that guide track and call it good?  What does that copper colored compound do...is it a lapping compound of some sort?  Is it completely necessary?

Anyhow...I appreciate any insight from the hive...

It's just factory protective grease.  Apply your own favorite brand.

ETA:  I've started using CherryBalmz in general, seems like good stuff.

I just had one of my Glock 19 slides Cerakoted. The refinishing folks did a very nice job, but it came back dry as a bone. I took a q-tip and applied some gun grease in the slide channels. It shoots great, and all is well. 

Congratulations on your new Glock!

No worries. It's not a Glock recommended lube point. Just lube per your manual with a quality gun oil and enjoy your pistol.
