Alistair.

Up in Canada we have this: (maybe in US too?)

From the sounds of it, may be very similar to what Scott uses.

I have some downstairs. It's tacky as all get out. Can't say for sure
if it's ok for wheel bearings though. A quick look at there website
and I don't see mention of that application. Mind you there is mention
of "race car bearings" in one of the videos.
