Slide out tracks
I got the stuff at the parts Dept of my RV dealer,that is a thick sticky lube and rust preventative (It reminds me of the chain wax I used on old motorcycles)
It smells awful but it goes on (brownish color) and stays on and the parts are as shiny as new.It glides in and out very smooth.I spray it every couple of months
Sorry I forget the brand but it's the Same Co that sells the spray on foam,rubber seal Lubricant
I recommend both products

Yes I use the CRC power lube that lippert recommends for the motors not greasy which will attract dirt in my opinion on the schwintec rails and I don't think it takes much

Thanks for the input. I will try some of the silicone type sprays on it and see what that does.

Dry lube's work well enough, but typically don't act a rust prohibitor.

Tried the CRC HD silicone spray. Ran the slide in and out a few times and still no change. Still squeaks and creaks going in and out. Then tried a dry lube spray and still the same . Cant figure where the noise is actually coming from, I find no places where it is rubbing or binding. It goes in and out fine just noisy. Guess i will keep looking.

Boeing Boeshield T-9. Good enough for airplanes and space craft, good enough for me. Goes on dry and seals also.

Hm, if it's good enough for space craft then it wont harden in a radiation field, correct?
I work in radiation therapy as an engineer and one of our biggest issues is lubricants gooing up as a result of the radiation. Currently we use Tri-flow which works well enough, but Boeshield T-9 sounds like something I'd like to look into.

I bought a can of that stuff (pricey).
It goes on nasty but definitely sticks. (have some WD40 handy to wipe the slide body of the overspray)
I agree it is muck like the chain wax I use on the bikes.
Probably should have just used chain wax.
