My passenger door creaks like a haunted house due to the doorstop. Since I have to remove the door panel to fix the outer handle, I need to lubricate the doorstop.
I tried spraying some stuff into the opening before my handle problem,and that just washed away any grease that was on the stop. So don't try that if you have a creaking door.
Does anyone know of a grease readily available?

yes, there is a difference between spray oil and spray grease, i use an spray grease that just does the contrary of washing, it spits from the spray as colourless, and when it contacts the surface it gets solid. it is a molykote grease that i shared in my thread "empresas y tribulaciones"

I bought some in the grease gun cartridge from McMaster-Carr. They don't appear to sell the spray variety.
