Hi all,
Just a quick question : What is the correct lubricant to use on car door locks, spray thr'u keyhole etc.

Vehicle has been idle for some time and locks etc. are very very stiff.
Have oiled all hinges etc but worried that certain type of oils may damage any plastic/rubber components in the locking mechanisms.

Thanks.
