On the hub bearings. Bassically I have no idea where to use it so a little guidance would be fantastic

Copper grease is not a suitable lubricant for ball or roller bearings, nor for greasing grease points.
It's main use is as an anti-seize coating for bolts and nuts, typically damper mounting bolts, sub-frame mounting bolts, etc.
It is not intended for high temperature use or for use on high-speed rotating mechanisms.

Copper Grease for threads and suck, normal grease for bearings and moving parts.

Copper Grease for threads and suck, normal grease for bearings and moving parts.

Not quite:
HMP (High Melting Point) grease for wheel bearings.
Normal grease for swivel pins, radius arms, and other normal grease points.
Copper grease for nuts & bolts and other fixed parts.

And I should have added:

Molybdenum Disulphide (black) grease for CV joints and inner drive shaft joints.

Is it copper grease they use on the back of brake pads to stop brakes squeeling? sparingly of course.

It is also if you want to grease very high temperature items like exhaust manifold studs/bolts/nuts etc then you need a nickel based product like Never-seez.

I used some extremely expensive ultra high temperature silicon sealer on my own pads to stop them from squealing, works really well, as it also "sticks" the pads to the pistons, which helps retraction from the disc when you are off the brakes.... lower frictional forces

Best use for copper grease is on your wheel bolt threads and also on the hub face to stop your brake discs welding themselves to the hub with rust. Also as mentioned above, on the back face of your brake pads

Its best used for greasing coppers...
