Whilst the boots were off my rack i was thinkin is it worth giving the 'rack' part of the rack a clean off and re grease as it seems a little grubby..

is it just ordinary grease? i only have moly and copper on the shelf atm...

Moly grease will be better than copper, copper's only anti-seize and isn't really a lubricant.

General purpose lithium grease is best.
