Preventitive rust spray on door hinges

If its a car hinge for a normal door I believe most car manufacturers specify a heavy oil like gear oil. Owners manual.
I would say proper lubrication first, prevent rust second.
Now if you have external hinges like my Suburban had on the rear (barn door style I think they call them) then maybe Amsoil HD Metal Protector.
I use chain lubricant for normal car door hinges (like bicycle & motorcycle chain). Mainly because I have a spray can.

Fluid film, corrosionX, some motor oil, or 00/000 grease would all work well.
Silicone spray ... or just a lot of wax
Boeshield B9
T9
See my post in 'bicycles'.

White lithium grease is often used.
I normally use this, though if there is a squeak or similar I will use wd40 to clean things out, remove all the old grease and muck then redo with more lithium grease, very handy in the aerosol cans, I normally have one in a cubby hole in the boot along with some wd40 or similar product.

+3 on the LPS 3. i have seen the other LPS products displayed at trade shows. very impressive.
Yep, one of my contractors loves the LPS stuff! I haven't had the opportunity to try it myself, yet.

Exactly! Chain oil is great - goes in thin. Carrier evaporates to leave a great lube.

Boeshield T9 is a clear, slightly waxy, slightly thick corrosion preventative. It's perfect for door hinges. It's a bit light duty for underbody and chassis protection.
One car is brand new, other is 02. Is T9 ok for both?

Yes, in fact, applying T9 inside doors and in seams when a vehicle is new will reduce the risk of long term corrosion.
