Slide out lube

One of my slide outs screeches (fingernail on blackboard!!!) for the first 12" going out and same on return. Since the rails are not accessable when in because of the underbody enclosure, I can try and lube the rails when out and I am wondering what is suggested as the best product to use. I don't think grease is what I should use as it tends to attract dirt. Suggestions on how to solve my noise?

This is what I have been using on my slide-out rails and rams (when extended) ... also on my hydraulic auto level rams. I'm sure others will chime in on their favorite juice!

If you have hydraulic
Slideouts clean and Lubricate the gear packs per Lippert service bulletin. The squeal will be gone and your slides with move smoother and faster.
