After we bought our unit, I visited JR Enterprises to learn what I could about maintaining our HI-LO. We don't live to far from them, so it wasn't difficult to do and having worked as a pleasure boat service manager for almost 30 years, I had some knowledge of what questions to ask. I was lucky enough to meet and talk to Greg Stanley, now deceased, who was able to give me many good suggestions on what to look for and how to maintain our unit.
As for the slides, he suggested using paraffin wax on the guides 3 or 4 times per season. This is the wax used for canning. It is inexpensive and easy to apply with no over spray to mess with. I have used it now for 4 years with no problems. Hope this helps you out.
