Was wondering what would be better to lubricate the convertible frame and joints? WD-40 or Multi-Purpose grease? Mine is squeaking.

 

WD-40 is anything but a lubricant. It's market that way... i know. stick with the grease.

 

only problem i have with the grease is that it kinda looks ugly all over those joints.. i havent applied any before but i can picture it. hopefully the auto shops carry the clear kind.

 

I would use white lithium grease.

 

Who makes white lithium grease? can i find this at autozone,pepboys,etc?

 

Any autoparts store should have it.

 

Just bought the White lithium spray can. Is this stuff safe for the frame since its painted.. sprayed some on and intend to leave it there for a while (im at work). or should i go out to my car and wipe it off?

 

I use Corrosion Block aerosol, available at boating supply outlets. It's a good penetrant, clear, non-sticky and long lasting.

 

I use my mountain bike chain lube. It is a waxy lube with moly and Teflon. Just apply a few drops to the hinge, it penetrates well, then the solvent evaporates leaving a non-greasy dry lube. And besides, I did not have to buy yet another specialty product.

Finish Line Kry-Tech

 

It is safe. I have used it for that and for my auto hinges for years. Never had any problem with paint damage.
