How do you lubricate the sliders on disc brake calipers occasionally so they don't seize up?

Push the bolt completely out of the caliper and clean it well, then put some special lube the have in a little tear open pack and coat the sliding parts. I used to use never seize but was told this stuff is silicon based and won't swell up the rubber like never-seize might.
