Strengths: A great lube for Manitou injection port forks.Weaknesses: A bit pricey at $20/CAN.Bottom Line: So far the only lube I've used on the stock Manitou SX-R that came on my @001 Trek Fuel 90 Disk. I've used it numerous times, it's fast and easy to use with a funky green colour.
Bottom Line: Does an excellent job, so why switch to another or even bother to look for one?!

Strengths: Excelent penetration of anodised surfaces and rubber seals.
It is a very light grease that will wick up to higher parts of the shock and seals, instead of just sitting at the bottom of a shocks air cylinder.Weaknesses: A bit to light in really hot weather, it can get a little to thin when temps reach 100 F / 40 c.Bottom Line: I still use Prep-M during the cooler months here in the desert, but I prefer the Slick Honey during the summer months.
If someone told me to choose between them, because I would only get to use one, from now on, I'de probably pick the Prep-M. Even though the Prep-M gets a little runny during our hell like summers, its simply a matter of repacking the shock a couple of weeks sooner.
This review is based on the premise that it will be used for repacking suspension components.
If a person wants a more general purpose lube, for wheels bearings ect get the Buzzys Slick Honey.
Personaly I have both in my toolbox.
I don't know where the person below got their Prep-M, but I've been buying the stuff since 2000 and have never had any that was lithium based. As far as I know, its allways been a sinthetic grease.
Later, Eric

Strengths: Seems to work ok on Manitou shocks.Weaknesses: Full of Lithium...bad on every other type of shock.Bottom Line: Maybe OK on Manitou, but definitely don't use it on anything else. I imagine Judy Butter works good for "dry" systems like a SID, but Slick Honey is the best all around. Prep-M is full of lithium too, which isn't good for rubber seals...why does manitou recommend this?
