Door hinges-To lube or not to lube?

[reflexboy]

I have recently cleaned the door shuts of my 2011 E Class with APC. As this is a degreaser, I presume I should re-grease the door hinges, however I also read that modern MB car hinges do not need greasing as the hinge pin is in a nylon liner. Any idea if this is true?

Sorry but can't help regards the liner situation, twice a year I do the door hinges, bonnet hinges, boot hinges with a white lithium spray grease.

over spray is easily wiped away.

We use a clear spray grease and wipe the excess. We don't use any of the white greases as they look awful.

Light spray not to bad on a silver car

MB main dealers always appear to love the white grease for these jobs.
I always felt that it was to make you notice that they'd done something.
Personally, I always thought it looked a scruffy job.

Most main dealers, all manufacturers too, tend not to do this anymore as it avoids complaints about getting grease on the customers clothes.

Wurth spray grease.

Halfrauds rubber and nylon lubricant. Clear and clean but contains silicone if that's a worry.

Wurth spray grease.

They have quite a few different types, is it HHS 2000?
