Default Anti- seize compound between wheels & rotors - Any opinions based on experiences??

I know that there is a high tendency w/Audi's for alloy wheels to seize/rust to the rotors over time and that it's a good idea to use some sort of anti-seize compound between the wheel surface and the rotors. But I've been wondering if there is a difference between products out there. Are there some that are more affective and are there any that should be avoided because they could actually cause harm?

Default If you're really picky, buy some Lubro-Moly Anti-Seize....

From Adirondack Auto Brokers:

<img src="http://www.germanautoparts.com/images/lm2012.jpg">

<i>This copper based paste protects nuts and bolts from siezure, rust, galling and pitting. It also prevents corrosion between dissimilar metals and it water and salt spray resistant. Its' high heat resistance makes it ideal for exhaust components and turbocharger housings, as well as brake parts. It will also stop disc brake squealing when applied to the back of brake pads. 100g squeeze tube <b>$3.99</b></i>

Otherwise, just get some generic stuff from your local auto parts store....I think I have Permatex.
