Lubrication for brake calipers

[Brockett]

What's a good grease for brake caliper slide pins?

Red rubber grease has always been my go to on brakes.
Safe on rubber parts, good temperature resistance, often supplied with caliper rebuild kits so I take their word for it.

I've got a silicone grease I use for slider pins inside boots like on the Gen 3. For metal on metal surfaces (for instance where the pads run) I use a high temp ceramic grease from Eurocarparts.

That K2 "Silicone" grease isn't listed as silicone anywhere else, the manufacturer doesn't even say silicone, just "synthetic", otherwise that seems like a decent buy.

I use this on sliders and pins, one sachet is enough for all three brakes.

 Thanks all for your responses.     -  Last year on the XJ600 I used a high temperature copper grease and this was nicely slippery. Since then the bike has never been out in the rain and the rubber boots and seals and pistons were new. Yesterday, having not used the bike for six months the front brakes were jammed on. After removing the calipers and cleaning everything I found the grease I used had turned into something like hard wax and the pins were reluctant to move.  A common problem unless they are stripped once or twice a year and why I hate two pot sliding calipers.
I looked at the product recommended by Mr Froglodyte but saw the postage from Latvia was over £9 so I opted for a cheaper free post version (because I am a cheapskate). I considered the small sachet options but having four bikes I opted for a larger alternative.

   Do a search on EBay for K2 grease,just under £9 posted.

Sorry Brockett - I didn't notice the postage charges !
