Obviously the door hinge area is an area of concern for different reasons: Cleanliness, and lubrication come to mind.
Often times the lubrication, or lack there-of, can present a grimy mess...either with excessive grease trapping dirt and who knows what, and/or the lack of lubrication of the hinge area allowing rust and corrosion to drop all over inside the jam. The latter, over the life of the car can cause doors to creak and pop when opening and closing, all of which can lead to premature door hinge failure.
1. Dirty door jams are nasty.
2. Ungreased door jams will cause problems.
3. Over greased door jams are nasty as well.
After cleaning these areas and ridding them of nastiness; What do you use to grease the hinge area (white lithium grease comes to mind)? How do you grease it without getting your product of choice all over the place and into the area of the hinge it needs to be?
My goal: To super clean door jams while leaving lubrication that can hardly be noticed, if at all.
I have my own way of doing this and was looking to possibly refine it. So, I ask; How do you approach this?
