The Super Pro bushes I have fitted came with sachets of silicon based WP (waterproof) grease and I have used that grease for initial fitting
As the bushes are poly - ordinary lithium based grease is suitable as is red grease. I have used all three greases without detriment.
If you want a waterproof HMP (high melting point) grease I have successfully used Renolit Aqua 2 grease which is manufactured with calcium soap and polymer additives and which meets both UK Defence and NATO standards.
I hope the above is of help.

The kit I have ordered unfortunately doesn’t come with a sachet of grease, however it looks like there are options, very helpful Phil. I have some red grease but until now I wasn’t sure of its suitability.
