Question caliper refurb

I have SS pistons and seal kit for a front caliper refurb but didn't get any grease with the seal kit, what should I use?

Cheers,
Paul

I was under the impression you used brake fluid?

I use Red Rubber grease, can buy small tubes online for about £3 delivered.
Brake fluid can be used but cause the corrosion you see on the seals when the air gets to it as its left behind from when you insert the pots etc,all depends on how fussy you are really and if they get cleaned often

I use brake fluid and wipe of any excess.
