Door hinges, hood latches, and seat tracks require a lubricant that will not wash away in the rain. White Lithium Grease is a thick grease that clings to vertical metal surfaces. It comes in spray cans for easy application or tubes for manual packing. It resists high temperatures and stops friction wear on latches, linkages, and cables. The white color makes it easy to see where you have applied it, and it does not run like light spray oils.

Frequently Asked Questions
Some petroleum-based solvents in spray cans can degrade certain plastics over time. Use silicone grease or dry lubricants for plastic instead.
Yes. It is highly resistant to water washout, making it perfect for external chassis hinges, trailer hitches, and hood latches.
No. White lithium grease will swell rubber guide pin boots. You must use silicone-based or ceramic brake grease on caliper slide pins.
