WD-40 is worthless as soon as it dries up which often can be measured in
minutes. It is great for wet distributors though or as an assembly lubricant.

Use something silicon of synthetic based. It will last longer...

Hi,
WD-40 is solvent, cleaner. Not a lubricant. It induces rust as well
exposing bare metal. How about white grease(Lubriplate)?

This may sound odd, but I use Remoil gun cleaning oil for things like this.
Remoil is a light oil with suspended Teflon. The Teflon really penetrates
and works well for hinges, locks, even the mechanical parts of electronic
equipment like cassette decks. The lubricating effects last quite a while
too. You can find it in Walmart or any gun shop. Since you are worried
about the hinges attracting dirt, you can spray them down thoroughly, work
them back and forth to get the Teflon in it, then wipe off the excess.

thanks for all the suggestions guys, I went with the white grease and it
opens much better now (even thought it's so cold right now in Montreal my
car barely starts).
