Most any parts store sells disc brake caliper grease. I have even seen it recently in small packets near the cash register. Most any reputable brand will be just fine as long as it is specified as brake caliper grease. Ford actually uses dielectric grease and labels it for both uses. My personal favorite is the stuff Volvo uses.
It sounds like you found the caliper slide pins, but the hex is not an adjustment. It is part of the bolt. If the slide pins are removed, you will need a 7mm hex wrench to remove them.
