How do YOU clean your door jambs?

Same here, but swissvax brush.

 

I usually do a rinse first when I'm spraying off the snow foam, then I hit it with a horse hair detailing brush and some APC. If it's really bad and there's built-up grease and what not on it, I hit those parts with degreaser and a stiffer brush.

 

If they are super nasty, I will soak them in degreaser and rinse them out, then ONR after I am done with the interior. If they aren't terrible, then just ONR with Vroom MFs.

 

Regardless of your process make sure to re-lube hinges

 

What kind of grease should be used in hinges? I was looking at the auto parts store and the only thing I found was a can of silicone spray that said it was for door hinges?

 

I use the below item in a squeeze bottle... It also come is aerosol but I much prefer the squeeze bottle accurate application with no overspray


DuPont™ Multi-Use Lubricant with Teflon® fluoropolymer
The Clean Lube – No Oily Film!
DuPont™ Performance™ Multi-Use is a water repelling; three-dimensional lubricant utilizing advanced DuPont™ Teflon® fluoropolymer, organic molybdenum, and a polymerized wax structure. This unique combination goes on wet to deeply penetrate and loosen frozen or rusted parts. It then sets up with a clean, dry, self-cleaning™ film. This dry film will not attract and absorb dirt and grime. In fact, dirt activates release agents in the lubricant causing bits of the wax layer and the contaminants to flake off. This patented technology keeps parts clean, so they work better and last longer.
Use On Any Moving Part…
DuPont™ Multi-Use is an all-surface, all condition lubricant. Use on: Chains, Threaded Parts, Hinges, Locks, Latches, and Springs. Rusted Bolts, Sliding Tracks, Wheels, Pivots, Cams and Pulleys. Pipe Fittings, Shafts, Wet Wires, Zippers, Rollers, and Linkages. From a frozen bolt to a rusted bicycle chain, from sticky windows and door tracks, to a squeaking hinge, DuPont™ Multi-Use will exceed your highest expectations.

 

I'm going to have to pick up some of that lubricant from DuPont! Thanks for the information Jason!

 

No problemo!

 

You may also want to see what your local bicycle shop has.

 

That's a GREAT idea. I worked in bicycle shops all through college, and Tri-Flow oil is great. There may be others now that are even better.

 

I used to wrench years ago, if that stuff can stay on a MTB chain, it will stay on anything
