Copper "grease" on bolts

Wurth also makes one. I've got a can that's lasted me over ten years, and still going.

Its what monkey boy said, anti seize. Good stuff to have on those bolts. Is it ex mod?

Look for a tube / can labeled "Anti-Seize" at your local parts store.

I always use copper-grease on bolts when I bolt them back together, then you have no trouble taking things apart again even after 10-15 years.

Hey gang,
Been meaning to ask this for a while - Ive noticed that a lot of bolts connected to the body or frame on my UK import seem to be coated in a grease that has an almost copper looking shine to it.

Anyone ever seen that and have any idea what it is?

It could very well be just a liberal coating of engine and gear oil mixed with filings from wear... but was curious if it was something particular.

Thanks
