Default What lubricant is best for seat tracks?

Hey,

My passenger seat got jammed today but came free while I was driving. It sounds a little grunchy. What's the best lubricant to keep the seat moving in the track freely? I did a search, no luck.

thanks

I like the white lithium in a spray can with a red thin snorkel. Pretty non-invasive and shouldn't glump up on you like heavier stuff.

Sounds like you may have some dirt too, so you may benefit from the solvent properties of good ole WD-40 as a start. Wipe off with a cloth towel. Paper towel might leave paper chunks on your tracks.

My first choice would have been the lithium, but I wanted to check. Who knows, maybe Porsche requires some stuff made out of liquified Black Forest unicorn poop or something equally rare...

Just used white lithium grease yesterday, but the liquified Black Forest unicorn poop works great if you can find it.
