The problem with WD40 is that it is terribly volatile. I used it on a  
squeaky door. Two months later, the squeak is back.

LPS 2 or 3 is a better choice. LPS 2 is designed as a lubricant and  
has more waxy components. LPS 3 is a corrosion-inhibitor and is high  
in waxy components. LPS 2 on the squeaky door -- no squeak for years."

Ok, Bill, for those of us in the North country, WHO/WHAT is LPS2 or 3???
Who makes it??  Enquiring minds want to know.
