Default steering wheel grease

ok has any one an idea on wot grease i should use for the steering wheel where the horn contacts touch the indicator stalks i'v been having a light grinding noise and thought when i took the steering wheel off i'd over tightened it and it was fouling the cowl, but now realized it's actually the lack of grease on these contact's because when i fitted the new rs2000 steering wheel it stopped for a day then came back once i'd used the wheel abit , will copper-slip do it i no it's sounds stupid but can't remem if it is actually a conductor or not, cheer's for the help lad's

No prob, although beeswax has lots of other uses too, but is a bit expensive.

Haha! i'm asking mates now to see if they have got any in there mothers cleaning cuboard , because i'll only need it for my steering wheel at the moment, work and income is abit drastic at the moment so spending money on beeswax is not an option , i'm sure one of them will come up trumps but cheer's anyway mate

Ask around to see if any bee keepers in your area, as they have loads, only a few quid.

NO not a wind up, beeswax is awsome stuff, for electrical contacts and as lubricant on hinges etc that are exposed.
