Default What would you use to lubricate drawer slides

that grease is the way to go, but what kind?


I use a stick of Gulf paraffin wax on my wood-on-wood slides.

For rollered slides, I'd go with spray white lithium. The little tube
will get the liquified grease into the axle and then it will solidify.
I used it at the Ford dealership for window regulator rollers, window
channels, hood latches, door/hood/trunk hinges and haven't been
without a can at hand for the past 30 years. Good schtuff, Maynard.
