Red grease as the copper grease can rot the rubbers

When i was at BMW, one of the technicians used to say never ever use copper grease as it strectches bolts.
Anyone any ideas on replacement gators???

Im totally on the fence.
It was just what he used to say.
Copperslip can be abrasive on parts softer than the copper particles in the greese
Over time the copper grease will eat your slider boots & dry up causing your calipers to seize!
