what fork?
I have an '08 fox 40 and I use slick honey on the dust wipers.

Will be for an '10 Boxxer.
I have looked at Slick Honey, but for a 16oz tub, its the equivalent of US$50 in the UK!!!
Damn, beat me to it...... Gotta love the middle man!

I avoid Slick Honey personally. It seems to foul up really quick and get sticky.
I've been having good luck with the Pro Circuit grease (PC-03, the red stuff). Don't use marine grease or assembly lube...
SuperLube makes some good stuff too.

On a serious note, Slick Honey works for me.

On new dust wipers I use Motorex Prep M and on older ones which have to be changed soon, Finish Line Teflon grease which is sicker and stickier. It prevents the "looser" dust wipers from loosing oil.
Prep M works great but has to be renewed frequently if you ride often and want your fork(s) like new. But you should do it anyway.
Fox 40:
On the foam ring under the dust wipers I use Rox Shox Red Rum or Fox Float Fluid. Red Rum is cheaper and is just as good.

That would be a great choice actuallly.Maybe try prep M? It's made in Switzerland and is amazing stuff.
If all else fails, just get a good white lith grease. Personally slick honey, mprep, white lith are what I use, and I generally use whichever i have in stock at the time.

This is what you need: Fork Juice

Prep M would be the best option that is easy to get hold of and not too expensive
silicone spray? It does help with making the stanchions slippery for a little bit, but it is far from a substitute for packing the seal/wiper space with a good low viscosity grease.
Both the prep M and the 'bike lube 2000' from moterex are calcium thickened (like slick honey) and would be a beter choice than lithium based greases. Of the two, the prep M would be the better choice as it's lower viscosity(NLGI 1) is more suited for this kind of application.
