Porsche recommends using optimoly TA on lug nuts. It is an aluminium anti-seize. A very small amount on each lug is all that is needed, and even then only occasionally. I got a similar product at a speciality wheel shop a few years ago, but I lost it. I can't find it at my local autozone and the Porsche dealer only has it in large tubes (the kind that requires a chaulk gun.) I found this place to buy it --
"It's evident from this forum and others that people have a hard time finding the Optimoly TA aluminum paste that Porsche recommends applying to wheel bolts. For others looking for this product, I found a retailer in the U.K. called Moto-Bins (a BMW motorcycle spare parts seller) that sells Optimoly TA and ships to the U.S. It comes in a 100 gram tin, which costs 6.75 British Pounds. Shipping to New Jersey was an additional 4.25 pounds. The total in U.S. dollars was $17.16, and I received the product 21 days after ordering it from the Moto-Bins website. You can find it by searching for "optimoly" here: [

But, this stuff should exist somewhere in the States at some auto speciality store or website. Does anyone know where to get in the US in a small tube as I don't need the Porsche dealer's industrial size tube?
Thanks
