I like it. I first got it thinking it was just a gimmick but for 10.00 it last a long time so I thought what the hell. It does seem to keep things smoother between services and it doesnt really attract dirt (even at dusty as hell places like northstar). So it does what its supposed to for that app.
Stanchion Lube
I have heard that the Finish Line Stanchion Lube is good to apply to forks to prolong the seal and o-ring life.
I have a 2003 SID Race, 2003 Judy Race, and a 2008 FOX Float RL. Has anyone used this product and does it really work?

I also heard that silicone spray works well. Can anyone validate that? Just wondering.
It works pretty well. You just need to be really careful about keeping it away from your brakes/pads/rotors.ddraewwg said:I also heard that silicone spray works well. Can anyone validate that? Just wondering.
Any Dry Teflon Lube
Teflon lubricant dries to a wax like substance and dirt doesn't stick to it. I saw this recommended by RockShox years ago. I've been using Finish Line Dry Teflon, but I hear you can get a cheaper can of Teflon spray at Loews.

I'm no suspension expert, but treating with sIlicone would make the surface repel oil...so you would get reduced benefit from the internal oil lubrication. It might be good for the seal, but I think it would lead to accelerated wear of the bushing underneath the seal.ddraewwg said:I also heard that silicone spray works well. Can anyone validate that?

the thing is though that teflon lube you mentioned goes on pretty thick if I am thinking the right one. and it seems to dry with a white film almost like wax where the actuall stanchion version is very light and essentially no dirt sticks to it where the other still seems to attract dirt. This is of course if its the right lube im thinking of (used to use it for chains) I think it has more additives and solvents in it than just the raw teflon like the stanchion lube.baraant said:Teflon lubricant dries to a wax like substance and dirt doesn't stick to it.

Yes you're right it does dry to almost a thick white film. I apply a small amount then use a very small straight (a jewelers screwdriver that I rounded all the edges on) edge to open up around the seal to help the lube flow into it. Then after it dries I wipe away the excess. After I do this the fork and shock seem to have less stiction.Jesse Hill said:the thing is though that teflon lube you mentioned goes on pretty thick if I am thinking the right one. and it seems to dry with a white film almost like wax where the actuall stanchion version is very light and essentially no dirt sticks to it where the other still seems to attract dirt.

+1...worked well on my RS forks.Jesse Hill said:I like it. I first got it thinking it was just a gimmick but for 10.00 it last a long time so I thought what the hell.

FWIW, I hear Marz specifically said not to use it because it breaks down their seals...not sure if that is true or not, maybe someone else can chime in there.
I use this now and it's very very good. I really notice the difference even over the finish line stuff.

is fork juice available in the USA?
I'm sure there must be an equivalent, not sure can you send pressurized cans via air?
You could drop them an e-mail.

Most suppliers don't send liquids or sprays overseas, which sucks.
