I needed to go to the parts store anyway for some wiper

the Sil-Glyde in a little packet. An employee told me they have a deal
with Permatex that won't allow them to carry full tubes of AGS products.
Come to find out the Sil-Glyde may have been made only a few hours
from me. AGS is based out of Muskegon, MI.
The funny thing is that the auto-parts stores won't sell full tubes of the
stuff, I picked up a tube at the local home improvement center, marketed as
a sliding door lubricant! I haven't seen it sold at the same place since,
so I suppose that was just a fluke.
Sil-Glyde is great stuff--on autos you can use it lube everything from
brake cylinders to window tracks. I've even used it as a slide lubricant
on a tuba. I suspect that competing products are nothing more or less than
the same material.
