What slide grease works the best for your trumpet? I use a mixture of lanolin and whell bearing grease and it works perfectly.

I've always just used vaseline mixed with water and my slides have been fast. I've heard Zaja works well too.

I use Holton slide grease, that pinkish/redish stuff. The stuff works well for me when I add a drop or 2 of Al Cass valve oil to it. And speaking of greasing I keep forgetting to grease my first slide...

I use Selmer slide grease. I works fine for me but I have never tried anything else.
Se ya,

Herco works best for me. Yamaha's grease is pretty good too.
