Ok, Im taking care of the Strats imperfections one by one. I am now up to the door hinges. Dont know how they got this way, but they sound rough when opening the door fully, kind of squeaky and kind of rusty like it might need some oil... They dont seem out of alignment or anything, just kind of tired...
Im sure someone out there must know what Im talking about. What can I do to fix this problem?

 

White lithium grease.

 

ok thanks. I'll take your word for it and pick some up.

 

white lithium has a habit of atracting dirt and holding it. spray them every once in a while with a little wd40 or silicon spray once in a while.

 

A spray would be more convenient, and Im not sure if Lithium Grease comes in spray form. I'll have to check out whatever store is around here and see what they have.

 

I found WD-40 at Walmart. I sprayed it as soon as I got back to my car. The good news: The front doors are now quiet. No more noise. The back doors still feel like there is some scraping going on. They may be in a little worse condition. They arent loud, but you can hear the metal hinges rubbing against something. I dont think these are replacement doors, nor is there any evidence of any accident. All the doors sound a lot better, so thats good news.

Can I use this stuff to fix a window squeak? The right front window may need some lubrication...

 

Get you a spray can of White Lithium; Wal Mart even has some generic for under $2.

Or if you really want something good for marine enviorments you could pick up a can of Fluid Film from your local John Deere house.
That stuff is incredible even in salt water; and by in I mean below the water line.

 

Once I get my brakes fixed I will look for some White Lithium in a can. Cant hurt to try it.
