Detail 01
Slide treatment, not grease
Made for the fast-moving hand slide. Tuning slide grease is thicker and will gum up a hand slide.

SuperslickSlide Treatment
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A slide lubricant for trombone. Low-cost maintenance item that keeps the outer slide moving without sticking.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Trombone players whose slide drags or catches mid-position
- Students needing a cheap slide maintenance supply
- Keeping a spare in the case or band room
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Trumpet valves or rotors — those need valve oil
- Tuning slides, which take grease rather than a slide treatment
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Small bottle format
A few drops per application, so one bottle lasts a long stretch of regular playing.
Detail 03
Used with a water spray bottle
Most slide treatments work best when the slide is misted after application. Water carries the lubricant along the stocking.
Detail 04
Under five dollars
Cheap enough to keep two — one in the case, one at home — so you are never stuck without it.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01A water spray bottle is a separate purchase and you will want one
- 02Wipe the old lubricant off the inner slide first or it will build up
- 03Mixing brands of slide lubricant can leave a sticky residue
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How often should I apply it?
Every few playing sessions for most players, or whenever the slide starts to drag. Mist with water between applications to keep it moving.
02Can I use this on my tuning slides?
No. Tuning slides need a thicker grease that holds them in position. This is made for the fast-moving hand slide.
03Do I need to clean the slide first?
Yes, if there is old lubricant on it. Wipe the inner slide down with a cloth so the new treatment goes on clean metal.
04Does this work on a lacquered or nickel slide?
It is applied to the inner slide stockings, which are typically nickel on most trombones. Wipe off any excess that reaches the outer finish.
