Automotive uses for "Paint On" Graphite

Through testing and practical experience we've found that POG has many uses on automobiles. Both as a lubricant and anti-seize agent on nuts and bolts.  Here are some examples. 

 

Anti-Seize As we all know, auto engines are exposed to high heat and wet conditions.  The combined effect of these is nuts and bolts can seize in position.  Anyone who's tried to "break" a bolt on an exhaust manifold can appreciate this problem.	Use P.O.G on Spark Plugs Cover the threads of spark plugs, let dry, install and torque to spec.  Do the same for almost all nuts and bolts in your auto and they'll stay torque'd to spec and release with ease.

"Compression Fittings" come in a couple forms. Hose connectors and pivoting joints that require lubrication and are connected with  a bolt, as in a stabilizer bar and ball joint assembly.   "Paint On" Graphite is especially useful in the latter. Historically these fittings have been lubricated with grease. Unfortunately grease will squeeze out of the fitting once the assembly is torque'd to spec. Naturally, this reduces the effectiveness of the grease.  By coating the same assembly with our "Paint On" Graphite the graphite stays where it's put and offers excellent lubrication and less surface ware on parts.
Other Automotive  Uses	Keyed Locks: Coat your key with P.O.G. and work it in and out of the door lock while the graphite is still wet.  Do this a couple times on each lock and it's perfectly lubricated.  Door hinges: Eventually all hinges "squeeeeeak".  Wipe off any old grease that may be present and apply P.O.G.  Work the hinge a few times and the squeak goes away.  Best of all the graphite won't attract dirt and dust as does grease and oil.  Window Tracks: As cars age the window tracks accumulate dust and dirt, causing stiff operation.  Clean the tracks, coat with P.O.G. and The window works like new.

The drivers side electric window on my 1993 Aerostar began running very slowly and eventually stopped opening all together.  I had assumed that the regulator motor or switch had failed but this wasn't the case.  After trying a new switch with no luck I, grudgingly, took apart the door panel and found this: A rusted regulator arm. Through the years it just rusted stiff.  This, I thought, will be a great test for "Paint On" Graphite.  After cleaning off all the old grease and "breaking" the rust lock on the joints, I began coating everything that moved. Once everything was re-assembled, wonder of wonders the window works!!  Actually, I think it works better than new.  The window opens and closes faster than any new car window that I know of.
