Lubricants For Car Door Hinges

[mechtech]

The problem with spray greases is that it sits on the outside, not lubricating the internal surfaces. It looks as if you did something, but it only collects dirts.
Chain lubes penetrate, then thicken. They are perfect for hinges.
Any oil is useable, though - properly applied.
Greasing the outside of a hinge does nothing.

The white lithium grease definitely looks funky and collects dust, but it's worked well for me!

I too use the white lithium spray grease. when I use the straw-like attachment it definitely gets in the hinge. I use a liberal amount and my 9 year old doors swing smoothly with yearly applications.

Wurth HHS-2000...sprays as a liquid and then sets-up into a tenacious lube. Not cheap, but it works very well.

Bought mine from Car Care Specialties, which has this to say about it:

A unique, synthetic, heat-resistant, all purpose lubricant that penetrates quickly and adheres completely. It sprays on as a liquid and then dries to a clear semi-solid that does not dry out. HHS 2000 is very water resistant and does not attract dust like silicone based products. This is the ultimate lubricant for sticking or squeaky radio antennas, hinges, suspension bushings, hood shocks, motorcycle/bicycle chains, wire cables, mechanical linkages, etc. (Our favorite all around lubricant for thousands of jobs.)

Spray chain lube.
