Best dry lubricant for handbrake cable and rear brake linkages ??

Featured Replies

As the title.

After all the wet salty roads I'll be cleaning the underside of my Fabia in the spring, what is the best dry lubricant I can spray on the handbrake cables and linkages ? I don't want a grease as it holds grit etc

Any recommendations welcomed

LPS used to be great but no longer available AFAIK. I'd look for a dry chain lubricant as used by cyclist and motorcyclists.

GT85 is a good longer lasting lubricant (and penetrating/releasing fluid) in most uses but you might need a heavier duty lubricant or need to apply GT85 a bit more often. - https://gt85.co.uk/

Lanoguard is said to be a good, long-lasting anti-corrosion lubricant and waterproofing spray a mate of mine swears by it but I've never used it so have no idea how good it would be on moving cable and joints. - https://www.lanoguard.co.uk/

HTH.
