Back before the Covid b.s., I would play ice hockey late at night (and in N.E.), so I was opening the trunk hatch and side doors (Goalie equipment is BIG) frequently and locking my Jeep when at home I rarely feel the need to. I ran into the issue where the key wouldn't turn and all that. I found the lock-ease works best when you use it a few times. Once you've got it moving, keep using it.... a second time, insert and remove the key a few times, work the lock open and closed a few times, repeat the next day a couple times until it's good and smooth.

 

I've been wondering what to use without making a big mess. My buttons are squeaking.

 

Well a door handle comes off relatively easy and there is not much to it.
The door handle itself that is.

Having extra parts I get to play with things like this. LOL.
This is a '97 and up one.
Frankly I think taking the CRC White Lithium spray can using the straw can get in there behind the
button will accomplish the same thing.
I was playing with these cause I am getting tired of them being faded and using Armor All on them all the time.
And cause I suck at detailing if you get wax on them and don't get it off when you do get that white film on them.
So I was thinking about painting them. SMS Trim Paint in black maybe or the Krylon Fusion.
Then I could just wax them too.
I did have this dumb idea about bed lining them. Thought it might look kinda cool.
But then we are back to the getting wax on them problem. MLOL.
Oh the button itself is on the other side of that spring you see in the picture.
