Question Maintenance products

What do you use on the cables on the two front slides to keep the cables protected and the mechanism lubed? What if anything do you use on the other slide gear teeth and Rams?

Super Lube Dri-Film Lubricant for both places. If you have never used it, it sprays on, goes into crevices, the base will then evaporate leaving the dry lube behind. It will not attract dirt and provides a nice protection against corrosion as well.

I do nothing, just keep them clean.

Would you use this on the wheels for the slides also?

When the unit we purchased came with Schwintek slides, I contacted the manufacturer and they had a video which included how to lube the slide as well as what to lube the slide with. My suggestion would be to contact the manufacturer of your particular slide unit and see what they have to offer. Going from an electric slide to a Schwintek slide, the process is radically different.
