Default Silicone Grease

Did a search and found this:

Anyone partial to certain types? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm not sure if there's a difference between brands, and I'd prefer not going under the car more often than I have to. This is for the Ingall camber kit application.

Any and all comments/suggestions welcome. Thanks.

I use marine grease. Castrol makes some that is carried by most auto parts stores. The stuff is amazing. 6 months of rainy driving, and countless undercairrage high pressure washes, and it's still on the bushings.

Nice. Thanks.

I've seen spray applications for Silicone Grease. Probably not a substitute for something more viscous. Anyone try this?

I have used white lithium spray, and it does work well to prevent noise / binding / squeaking, but it just doesn't last as long. My friend uses it on his front suspension for a recurring squeak from a bushing that would be a pain to take apart and lube, but it's only good for a few weeks, then he has to do it over again.

If everything is apart, or easily accessable, I'd go with the marine. If I can't get to it easily, or remove it to grease it properly, I use the spray.
