I'm curious what lubricant everyone uses on your hinges. I have used WD-40, but that attracts so much dirt, there has to be a better option.

I have used BoeShield. It carries into the hinge and then leaves a thicker lubricant after it dries. Not as messy as motorcycle chain lube.

I don’t use WD-40 as a lubricant on anything. It works well to remove water from electrical connections (what it was designed for). LPS 2 and REM oil work well for hinges.
