We use syl-glide here at work and I use it personally. You can get it from napa or advance auto.

Where are you in NY? I see the CRC stuff plus all the other lubes in every Autozone that I frequent. I personally Used the CRC when my wifes brakes started squeaking like crazy. I lubed the pins and the back of the pads which cured the problem. I guess you could use the lube that comes in the packet if you really wanted.

Alot of say grease is not good because it eats away at rubber...
