Lubricants: White Lithium Grease, Silicone Spray?

Is this correct for applying lubricants to following places:



door handle, hinge: White Lithium Grease?







Trunk Latch: White Lithium Grease?







door latch - uses Silicone Spray?




THANX

I would wipe the silicone spray on the rubber seals on the doors and windows. This can help keep them from sticking in cold weather.

I spray the silicone onto a cloth or paper towel and then wipe it on the rubber. I try to avoid the paint and I have the window down. No, it really shouldn't hurt anything but check the label. I use Pyroil or Jig A Loo. Wife uses a food-grade silicone on the O-rings for her dive gear but it is in a tube. Know they make it in a spray too as we used it at a former worksite.
