A few months ago, someone mentioned some kind of spray lube that Honda makes for window tracks. I searched but I can't find the thread.

Can someone tell me what this stuff is called?

It's not from honda, but this stuff seems to work:

just be careful about what you get it on, as it turns into a white film that can be difficult to remove from some surfaces.

In reply to Woody:

I've used Honda Shin Etsu lubricant. It works well, but comes in a tube, not a spray.

I always figured White Lithium Grease was the right tool for the job. Not like it's particularly complicated machinery with ultra-tight tolerances.

I use silicone spray for window tracks. Teflon, white lithium, etc. will leave a weird white film/goo behind. Silicone spray is clear and doesn't have any petroleum stuff in it that might not agree with the rubber and/or felt.

That's the stuff I was thinking about, but I guess its more for the regulator and not the glass channel.

Hey, long time lurker, first time poster, GRM subscriber for several years now.

Bryce is right, I use that exact spray and it works. On my 2000 Civic it's a yearly chore I do while checking my speakers and wiring and Dynamat.

When I went to my Honda dealer for window track lube they handed me a can of silicone spray, gratis.

I used silicone spray on a 1st gen Rx-7 windows and worked great.
