1999 XK8 convertible frame lube

What is the best lube to use on the frame hinges/pivot points , whatever you want to call them.

Any pointers on the best way to go about this........................................apart from 'less is more'

Thanks

I have only ever used a 'Dri Lube' type of spray. Plenty of brands available. Problem I have found with oily type lubricants is that they attract dust and gum up eventually.

I use white lithium grease. During 9+ years of ownership, I believe I have lubed the frame pivot points a total of three times....
