Default Caliper Sliding Pins

Hey guys, I think the sliding pins in my rear brake calipers are starting to freeze up, and it's causing a dreaded squeeking sound.

I know the noise is not coming from my pads or rotors because noise caused by pads and noise caused by pins are completely different, and my pads are fairly new ceramic

What's a good lubricant to use when lubing the sliding pins?

Thanks

Thanks Pimp, I was having trouble with the search engine earlier

Looks like high temp synthetic is the way to go

That just nets me this:

"Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms."

I guess it's busted again.

Wonder if silver anti-sieze grease would be a good,
or bad idea for this application?

I used the Permatex Grease from Advance Auto Parts and worked great. It is the same stuff in the link in the previous post.
