Graphite lube ?

The nice thing about dry lubes is that they are less likely to trap dirt and dust. So in areas that dust/dirt are a concern, I use dry spray lube. I used some on sliding parts of my garage lift, which are open to dirt or dust. Also less chance of dry lube drying out (already dry ) and gumming things up. Don't recall using it much on a car, though, but same applies there, IMO.

 

Graphite lube is for cylinder locks, as in door or ignition, more the former than the later, as graphite works well in freezing conditions.

 

supposed to be good stuff, where appropriate. With me, seems the stuff shoots out all at once, gobbed up , having wasted so much. have it in a tube. mAYBE THE SPRAY IS BETTER??

Right....locks, etc. But seems so many placed are so prone to "dirt", that is seems based on that we should be using it in so many more places, eh?

Oh...also cables ...use graphite down cables (manual chokes, etc).
