non-dirt magnetic grease

I'm one of those nuts who like to grease and oil mechanical joints so that they move so smooth. Trouble is I seem to make it worse by attracting more grit and grime. Ther's white grease for hinges etc. any silicone or recommendations for hoods, doors and such?

 

if grit avoidance a high prioity...you might try colloidial suspended graphite. There is zero residue (except the graphite where its needed).

 

That sounds reasonable .Where do you buy it?

 

I order all the time from McMaster but probably most hardware stores or even bike shops

They sell some stuff at motorcycle shops called "Dryslide" It works pretty good. It's graphite based.

 

dryslide? Is that like a grease,or spray?

 

Heres one that I use in my shop. The DRYSLIDE mentioned is available in most Motorcycle shops especially dealers that have Motocross or Enduro type dirt bikes. We used to be able get it in a small tube that had a pin syringe type point for getting into small cables like a throttle cable, TR
