Just wondered what you guys use?
Any help/info would be much appreciated,

That's better.
You want a silicone based grease for poly bushes.

TBH i dont think it matters that much, some brands of bush comes with what appears to be copperslip
Hey thanks Rob,
I was actually looking at both those eBay listings, just wasn’t sure if the grease in the bigger tin was the same as the superflex pouches! I’ve come across a couple of different silicone greases but none of them actually say anything about polyurethane bushes!! Anyway thanks again for replying and for the links 👍

Thanks for the replies guys,
I’ve just stripped and repainted an Atlas axle and it came with Floflex bushes which look like they were fitted with copper grease aswell!

I was always lead to believe that it's silicone grease for poly bushes. I got a tiny tube of copper grease supplied with some Powerfex bushes, and was told its for use inside the stainless steel sleeve (which came with the bush set). So, the copper grease goes where the stailess sleeve touches the zinc plated bolt, but silicone grease goes where ever plastic touches metal. I wonder if it matters?
I use handsoap, works fine for me
