I have been recommended 'Super Lube synthetic grease. Item no 21030' for projector care. I can't, however, find this item in the UK, and sellers abroad are either reluctant to send from US or charge enormous postal rates. Does anyone know where this may be available in the UK, or can recommend an alternative product?

White Lithium grease has been recommended on several threads on this forum. That's what I use with good results, plus you can get it at any hardware store.

Grease Recommendation?

Hi Rich, since I posted the query I have ordered Finish Line teflon synthetic grease which seems to tick the boxes, going by the reviews on Amazon. Shall try this. If it doesn't do the business I shall be in touch. Thanks for the offer.
