    Mas better ba ang WD-40 sa car door hinges? Parang mas madaling nakaka attract ng dirt ang WD-40.

    I don’t know the exact name but yung electrical latch or connectors ang madaling mag crack. Hindi yata enough ang electrical tape. It’s also difficult to wrap the connectors with electrical tape.

    it all depends on where you will use them.

    battery terminals? soap and water for me. but! i have good experience with today's low-maintenance and no-maintenance batteries. they seldom leak anymore, unlike before, when cleaning the posts of "asin" was a regular chore, as well as seeing if the upper hood metal is already rusting and needs help.

    errr... ano po ang nagiging brittle or soft? yung plastic? most plastics get brittle or soft, when they get hot. i am not aware of a good anti-brittle or anti-heat treatment for plastics. what i do, is to insulate them from heat, or find the reason why they are getting hot.
    what i do, is to wrap the heat-prone wiring segments with electrical plastic tape.

    for door hinges, good old grease is still the best, in my opinion. it lasts long, but it is a chore to apply. i use "lithium spray-on grease", if you believe in that thing.
    use rubber or plastic gloves if you want. yung ginagamit ng mga food servers.

    grease has to be kneaded in, but it is practically impossible to do so, if one's hands are large. so we use a spatula.
    with the liquid grease spray i mentioned above, i just squirt it on.
