[quote=”nightflyr” post=174985]Spray lithium grease always works for me.[/quote]
ya I would have to agree with you I think spray lithium grease… would do the best…. most of them will foam up a little…. reg wd40 will probly run throw it and then it will dry up/// on some cases you might have to replace the pin… but I would do that on the last resort because car doors are really heavy more then you think
I’ve never had much luck with the lithium grease spray for some reason. Silicon paste works wonders but expensive (silicon spray might work too). And for a more smelly gunk, a thin layer of general multi-purpose grease should do the trick.

I’ll have to give it a whirl. I’ve never tried lithium grease before but it sounds great.
There’s an aerosol product called Fluid Film. It sprays thin and runny, then it gels up and thickens.
It’s a bit pricey, but it’s a very good general purpose penetrating lubricant. A little goes a long way.
Make sure the squeak isn’t a case of worn hinge pins and bushings. With the door open, grab the rear edge and lift it. If the door rocks and wiggles around the hinges, the pins and bushings need to be replaced. The parts are cheap and it isn’t a difficult job.

Yeah. The problem I was having was there were TOO MANY products to choose from. Many people just use a water dessicant for some wierd reason…
