Grease recommendation

Anybody use Vaseline? It seems to me that this stuff would be perfect.

It's odorless, translucent and doesn't leave difficult stains on your
clothing. Acid free, repeals moisture, doesn't oxidize, protects from
UV rays, reacts with very few materials, and stays consistent over a
wide range of temperatures. Porsche even recommended the stuff for
maintenance of seals and corrosion protection for wheels.

I can't stand how messy typical grease and white lithium are.

Kevin, next time you rig walk over and I will give you some "Super
Lube W/ptfe" which is a food grade non-staining winch grease. Works
way better than lithium in cold temp. I prefer it over all other
grease products.

When I bought my Austria years ago, the guy I bought it from gave me a
tube of the stuff, said he used it for years on the pins and fittings.
Worked for me!

And the winner is...
BrianDG303 with his SuperLube!!! No kidding, only after I put that
stuff on the main pins of a brand-new ASG-29 did we get the glider
together with hardly any bleep-words. You can use it very sparingly
and it stays on the surfaces for many weeks. Clear synthetic grease
that reduces friction to close to Zero.

Or just google Super Lube Amazon.

Don't be fooled by that little tube, it lasts for a very long time.

Amazon don't seem to carry this product in the UK.

As an alternative they offer me:

100ml Super Slik intimate sensual water based personal lubricant FREE UK
Delivery

I wonder if this is a suitable equivalent, as it is classified under
"Garden & Outdoors".

I'm about 30% of the way into the large jar purchased in 1977 for my
HP-14. That's ~650 riggings (of it and a Zuni) in the years since. Just
don't store it sideways or upsidedown in hot temperatures...

The only kinda-sorta engineering-based knock ever uttered in my presence
was to the effect that - compared to (say) engineered/pricier greases -
it had unknown pressure-loading properties. FWIW neither ship has ever
developed slop in any of their main pins == good enough for this
engineer! Besides - and be honest here - raise your hand if you've ever
actually sought out that sort of engineering data; raise your other hand
if you've ever measured the cyclic bearing loads on your ship's main
pins. :-)

I use the Super Lube Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease in a tube. As
stated by others, a little goes a long way. A small tube has been
with me for the life of the LS8 (10 years), and I've barely made a
dent in it. Since we fly throughout the year, I've had a chance to
try it at a range of say -10c up to probably 35c, and it works well
throughout that range. I also have a can of the their multi-
purpose aerosol which is great for all sorts of stuff on the trailer.
It's a dry film lubricant, so it doesn't gum up the works like
"regular" grease. For example, I use it on the tracks where the ramp
slides in and out of the trailer.

+1 used the stuff for years. works grea
