Thanks for the video
What should I use for the inside of my drivers door hinge, the front of the door closer to the engine?
Great video, which spray do you recommend for car window rubber seals? I want my windows to move smoothly and quietly. Any suggestions are appreciated.
I was wondering the same thing
sweet project cars did a video on it. blaster dry lube with teflon.
Just remember that graphite is conductive.
What do you recommend for trying to get a creak out of my interior? I was thinking of a PTFE spray. I need something dry and doesn't eat away at plastics and rubber.
What is creaking in the interior? PTFE spray sounds like a good option for most stuff.
@@CarsSimplified It sounds like it's a trim piece somewhere on the passenger side or it may be the pano roof. Only happens when the car twists slightly on uneven road. Figured I'd try out the WD40 PTFE spray and go at it into every little nook and cranny.
I would try to be more precise with it; the spray might not be good to breathe in and if you soak the interior with that it may be what your car will smell like for a long time.
If you have a large heavy bag of something (pet food, fertilizer, oil dry, etc.) you can lean it on interior trim pieces (floor area) and the seats to see if you can hold it down/prevent it from moving. If you try a spot and the noise is gone, you know what area to investigate further.
Also, if it's coming from the dashboard, a spray lube solution probably won't last more than a week; those noises are stubborn and usually require a more mechanical fix.
Mac 1314 dry graphite spray is awsome an is safe for plastic an is sold at Napa auto 9.89 a can works great an drys an won't rub off or let dust an stuff stick to if FYI
It has been said that the propellant in silicone spray could be detrimental to rubber , plastics , etc. So to spray silicone into a styrofoam cup and if it melts , don't use it . If one doesn't melt the cup , it's good to use .
👍
Graphite? So I could buy a pack of mechanical pencil refills and use that as dry lube?
Graphite refills for mechanical pencils sort of do work as a dry lube, but they aren't pure graphite. They have some sort of bonding agent in them to help them keep their shape.
Oh that makes sense.
Is there a good clear dry lube so it won't show on surfaces?
I'm not familiar with any, but if you can make a surface out of solid teflon/PTFE, it gives you lubricating properties and a good clean surface. A clear/white/uncolored wax isn't super dry (especially with its low melting point) but it is the only other thing that comes to mind.
the majority of DFL pigments are grey/black, i.e. Molybdenum disulfide and graphite are the most common, but PTFE (teflon) is probably the closest to being clear, but those lubricants cure to a white film finish.
I was told Silicone spray/ Lube doesn't affect plastic and rubber as Lithium grease/ spray does !!! Now I'm hearing this video say... Silicone affects plastic,🤯🙅🧐🙄
Same, now I don't know what to use for rubbers and metal paint.... Can someone help
So graphite lube won't attract grease ? Come on man! Hahaa
Aerosol agents may cause harm but silicone is thr best for plastics right!??
Please do videos with more accurate information and more responsibility...
Thanks
The graphite spray is highly toxic, you couldn't pay me to use it.
