Alloy wheel- Appoved Anti-seize Compounds

Having once really struggled to remove an alloy wheel off a friend’s vehicle I thought I ought to remove my wheels and grease up the spigots on the Disco3.
However looking in the handbook rather stopped me till I sought some info from the team here.

On page 240 of the vehicles handbook it makes mention using an approved Anti-seize compound.
I quote: -

“4. On alloy wheels, use an approved
anti-seize compound to treat the wheel
mounting bore. This will minimise any
tendency for adhesion between the wheel
and the bore.
• Ensure that no compound comes into
contact with the brake components or
the flat mounting surfaces of the wheel.
• If, due to an emergency situation, this
treatment is not practicable fit the spare
wheel. Remove and treat the wheel at the
earliest opportunity.”

1. Does anybody here know what compounds are “approved”?
2. Would I be right in assuming it was done during build, so therefore I don’t need to?
3. And is it done during the first service, again so I would not need to?

Thanks John

Dunno what's approved, but I stick a bit of Copper Ease on mine when ever I change the wheels

Thanks boys;
copper slip is what I have used before myself on the Defenders and VW so I will go and use that again.
Cheers, knew I could rely on you.

A copper slipped into your aerosol the other day? Shocked
 I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Customer: Hello, I'd like a deodorant please

Shopkeeper: Certainly sir. Ball or Aerosol

Customer: Neither, it is for my armpits.

Thank you to the Two Ronnies for that moment of comedy genius.
