Default whats your favorite Traction Compound?

I'm curious to know from anyone here to get a consensuses of what others use for traction compound for foam tires (carpet track). I personally use Paragon ground effects. But I know the Paragon offers the traction Action and FXII and then there's the Corally with 3 more formulas to choose from. I would appreciate your response. Reply in this post what you use.

Jack the Gripper works pretty good. Not as good as Paragon, but no smell.

Niftech traction sauce works pretty good on higher traction surfaces and not having to wipe the tires off is a pretty cool concept.

I use a mixture of goat urine and frapped monkey brains. Works great, but a bit stinky.

On outdoor asphalt parking lot racing, for oval, we use Stick-ET. If the track is dusty, then Paragon.

in florida outdoors tire tweak or sun tan lotion
indoor because we are far superior to everyone else we understand paragon is the devil and smells like old men! so nif tech is the choice and i must say works well.
