Default Lubricant for rubber bushings

Hi All,

Do you guys know if there is any products I can use to spray on bushing?

I plan to do this after exterior and underneath detail my LS.

Please advise!!

Graphene spray or silicone lubricant works nicely

Aerospace 303 is good but if you are going to be cleaning under the car, a pure silicone spray in a can would be easier to deal with. Aerospace 303 would be good to saturate rubber bushings over a few days prior to install, I don’t know how effective it would be under the car for parts already dirty and which will get dirty soon and where it is unlikely you get to saturate and resaturate the part over sometime so my vote goes to silicons it would clean and protect and you can do it easily all the time just spray liberally on all rubber boots and bushes

The best lube is no lube. But I have heard that Permatex brake caliper grease is good
