What are you guys using to lube your door hinges and truck and hood hinges? I bought some Liquid Wrench Silicon spray to try but one of my doors still squeaks. Thanks!

I would go with some type of grease, probably lithium, just enough to coat the moving parts.

Why not? Says it is good for steel, rubber, plastics and safe on paint.

The lithium grease stays cleaner?

For some reason, yes.
It sort of absorbs into the metal and the extra grease on and around the hinges disapates after a short while, plus the grease that actually gets inside the hinge stays there, silicone eventually breaks down
