Stopping alloy wheels from sticking on axke

Hi,
I use a very thin smear of copper grease on the face of the hub, where the alloy wheel is in contact with the hub. Applied by fingertip. I imagine silicon grease would work just as well.
Look at the back of the wheel and the contact area will be obvious. I apply a very fine smear of copper grease to this area IF NO OTHER SUBSTANCE HAS BEEN APPLIED.Just apply a thin layer with your finger to the mating surfaces (between the wheel and the hub. Remember to do the wheel centre where it slides over the hub.Last week went to help a lady neighbour with a flat on her Peugeot 107. Spare was held in the boot by a hex head bolt which had a plastic star-shaped moulding round it to unscrew it with fingers. This bolt was so tight/seized the plastic moulding just slipped round in 60 degree steps. Had to chisel the plastic off and use a socket. Owners of Pug 107/Citroen C1/Aygo take note, check and grease your retaining bolt.

Thanks!
