A quick question to the knowledgeable HJ community: what is the best material to minimise the tendency of alloy wheels to stick to their hub? I recently removed all four from my BMW for cleaning. Some needed the help of a rubber mallet, which would not be a very user friendly situation if I scored a flat on a dark night on a motorway. Before re-fitting I gave all of them a light smear of grease - but perhaps there is a bespoke or better product for the purpose?

I've heard it mentioned that a small smear of copaslip on the mating surfaces stops the problem.

Martin's right. Copaslip does the job.

Many thanks guys. I see the product -
(www.holtsauto.com/products/index.html)
- and will give it a try.

Get it anywhere, Halfords etc - small tube or big tub (much the same price) always a handy things to have in the garage. Often called assembly compound - stops exposed nuts bolts etc seizing up - not always on exhausts though.

Thanks for your input. I see that Copaslip has a competing 'clone' product: Copper Ease, which was offered to me when I asked for Copaslip. I bought it.
