The Spinner Eaze product was made to solve a problem. Using standard pasty silver and copper anti-seize, aside from it's anti-corrosion additives, is intended to "fill in the gap" on the unloaded side of fastener threads to prevent moisture from entering... kind of like what penetrating oil is supposed to do by wicking into the threads.

However, this same abrasive nature of the common pasty anti-seizes on the high pressure tapered conical surface of the spinner can make the spinner much more difficult to remove when needed to. Sometimes almost as difficult than if it were corroded in the first place. The Spinner Eaze clear liquid anti-seize only protect the metallic surfaces from corroding and galling under high pressure. A drop or two is all that's needed and any excess is wiped off. It's like staining wood... once the stain is on, anymore isn't going to increase the coverage.

However, you also do not want a slippery "lubricant" on the spinner which can actually promote the spinner to come off before it's needed to. The Spinner Eaze is *not* a lubricant in the sense it would lubricate repetitive moving parts to prevent wear. Its is a corrosion inhibitor and anti-galling product only. It's been out there for 15 years now with excellent results. Best thing is only a drop or two will do it, and no after mess.

One important added note... you can even use this on header bolts with anti-seize protection results, which means it will stand up to some of the high braking temperatures you might see on track days in the 300-400+ degree range.
