    I just bought this car in Feb. It has 12k miles. So it's not been driven a lot (which is both good and bad).

    I'm driving it more and planning to continue to put smile-miles on it.

    I noticed a lot of the pivot, moving parts seems pretty dried up (See attached pic).

    I'd like to go through all of the reachable moving, pivot parts and coat them with fresh lubricant.

    Is there a list of what I should hit (Frunck hinges, doors, boot, door sensor, lock mechanisms, anything that moves...)?

    Also any recommendations on the lube? Or should it be different for each part?

    You are over thinking it. The rear hatch sensor likely needs nothing as it creates a circuit when closed. Maybe add some conditioner to the door seals and leather.

    Thanks - sometimes I just need to hear that. A bit of lube and move on!

    I've had my F430 for almost 5 years now. You are looking for solutions where there are not problems. Trust me the age of plastics & Italian engineering will present you some real items to tackle in the future such as engine/transmission mounts or wobbly tail lights.
