Default Spray lube options

Just wondering if any of you have recommendations for a spray lubricant. I'm not a fan of WD-40 and the only other spray lubricant I use is for the chain on my motorcycle and it's silicone based and kind of messy and sticky. I just want to hit some of the door handles on the interior and things like that so I'm looking for options.

I've got a can of dry graphite spray that I use for the kids skateboard bearings. Works ok.

^ That is what you use on locks and such, I have used it for a long time nothing better. ^


Do use the tube with it.

Dry graphite is good,white lithium grease has it uses also.For rusty bolts pb blaster a few days a head helps a lot.

Yup. WD40, PB, or similar liquid lubes can attract dirt over time. They have their uses but some items call for a dry lube.

Thanks, guys. I've only ever seen graphite lube in a little tube, never in a spray. Got some now, my inside door handles and locks have been really hard to work and had the same problem with my last XJ.

Blaster has a product called "The Dry Lube". Saw it a Home Depot today. I haven't tried this stuff but it sounds like something you would want to try.
