Grease for wiper mechanism

[ChristianReske]

I need help in choosing the best Grease for the job.

I want to re-grease the wiper mechanism of my 98 Honda.

It seems that the main bushings of the Wipers are made of white plastic (Teflon?), also the spherical halves of the ball joints of the actuation linkage are made of this white Plastic (Definetly not teflon)

So, i need a grease thats Plastic-friendly, waterproof and long lasting. And it should be "Thin" so that it flows into the ball linkages.

My first guess was Silicone grease, but i am curios about other or better recommendations.

How about Motorcraft PTFE?

yep, that's the stuff to use.

Sounds like a perfect application for lithium white.

Ditto to Trav's recommendation.

So, "white silicon lithium" is the perfect grease?

As i have allready two different types of Silicone grease ready in my garage, i will use this.

Out of curiosity i take a search for the white lithium grease and found a german company that manufacture this. One of the recomended usages is: "...Wiper mechanism.."

Thank you all for the help!
