[DeTomaso] What is Anti-seize anyway?

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

WD-40 is nothing like that. What you're looking for is a grease-like substance with either a copper or silver tone. the silver toned type is aluminum based. You should be able to find it at a car parts shop, not a hardware store. Try a wheel/tire shop, the stuff is often used for lug nuts/bolts.
