What is aluminium grease used for

What is aluminium grease used for? Would it better for alloy wheels than copper grease?

Answered by Honest John
CopperEase grease creates a sacrificial anode between an alloy wheel and a cast iron wheel hub, helping to prevent the wheel and hub from fusing together.
