Use white lithium grease to prevent wear and frozen doors
Applying white lithium grease to hinges and latches helps prevent wear and frozen doors. As the weather turns colder moisture will enter the door, hood, and trunk latches and hinges on your car. If the weather is cold enough the water freezes causing the door, hood, or trunk to be difficult or sometimes impossible to open. Also freezing water expands with amazing force. The expansion of water as it turns to ice is strong enough to bend or break steel. White lithium grease prevents water intrusion and the problems that go with it. Spray hinges and latches before the cold weather arrives.
