Sil-glyde is a good brand.  Using grease will avoid getting silicone
overspray all over the place.  The little tubs of 95% silicone grease
in the plumbing aisle are not what you want for this.  Great for
faucet O-rings but not for this.

Not sure but wouldn't be surprised.  It's mostly a fancy grade of
mineral spirits called Stoddard's Solvent.
