CarCareTruth's Analysis
Last reviewed May 26, 2026
TL;DR Aerosol white lithium grease for metal hinges, tracks, and latches. No public SDS found; health score is 3.0 due to unverified chemistry. Community data is sparse and dated (2011-2013). The WD-40 Specialist White Lithium Grease is a better-documented alternative from the same parent company.
What it is and how it performs
This 10.25 oz aerosol cures from liquid spray to a firm white film on metal contact surfaces: door hinges, garage door tracks, hood latches, and trunk hinges. A detached extension straw inserts into the nozzle but does not lock, requiring two-hand operation. Rated -5 to 260 degrees F per the label. Community reviews are sparse and dated 2011-2013; long-term durability is unconfirmed by recent independent sources.
Who should buy this — and who should skip it
Acceptable for metal-on-metal contact if you already own it. Skip it for rubber seals, plastics, and electrical connections: white lithium grease can degrade polymers; use silicone spray for rubber/plastic and dielectric grease for electrical connectors. Buyers who want verified chemistry should choose the WD-40 Specialist White Lithium Grease instead.
Safety and environmental impact
Safety chemistry is unverified (no public SDS found); the health score of 3.0 reflects this, not confirmed danger. Aerosol propellant adds VOC load and the petroleum base is likely non-biodegradable, placing this in the average range for environment.
