Squeaky doors

Squeaky doors
My doors are starting, OK they are very squeaky now when I open them.
I use to use WD40 on them and past vehicles, but I want to try something different this time.
There are a lot of new lubricants out on the market now that contain sillicones, and teflon, etc.
What works the best, and do they all drip aferwards and you have to wipe up the spooge that drips later?

I like the Prolong SPL. Like WD-40 but better. I've used it on house and truck door hinges, squeaky clutch pedal, and majorly rusted exhaust clamps, bumpstops, u-bolt nuts, etc. Great results in all applications, killed the squeaks, broke the stuck bolts free. On the house hinges I wiped the excess right away, no stains on the white latex paint. I'm sure it will work fine for you. Nail it well enough to get the friction surfaces, wipe the rest up. I'm not sure what's in it, probably synthetic light oil of some kind.

You might want to look into using white lithium grease. A couple of years ago my doors were squeaking really bad, and a friend let me borrow his. Haven't had a problem since.

Either that or a silicone spray. We have roll up doors on our rescue truck at the firehouse, and we use it on the tracks for them. It works really well and I might give that a try on mine soon. Maybe I can borrow some from the firehouse . Other than that, I use WD-40. :beaver:

I have one squeeky door. WD40 is good for a quick fix, but does'nt last...too thin? I think I saw (or dreamed) a spray grease. Gonna ask my friend at the bike shop. I think that's where I saw it. Or maybe a spray wax or something for chains. It's gotta be thick enough to hold up. If I find something I'll post it.

CRC was a success!
Best thing is, there were no drips afterwards like you get with WD40.
I even did my oldest son's Integra as he stopped off for the remaining shiskabobs.
That reminds me. Gotta go pull the rice off the stove, and throw them thar shisker's on the fire

Got this thread a bit late, but you know what works...
Vasoline.
More than likely, it's probably is pretty much the "white lithium grease" everybody has been talking about and paying premium for.
