Locks: Dry graphite.
Hinges: White lithium.
Bushings:
Rubber or plastic: Gel type silicon based lube.
Metal: White lithium for low temp/low friction. Black molly otherwise.

Scroll down till you see the pic. I've bought maintenance items from them and they're decent. They're in Citrus Heights, CA.

To jlukja:

2months ago, a few days after I bought my used 04 TSX. I heard some rattles and I decided to try that "toothpaste" on my door seals. I didn't want to buy it online and waited for shipment because I was still very excited about my "new" car.
So I wrote down the part number and the name, and then went to South Coast Acura. They had it in stock.

^^ On the rubber door gaskets and window gaskets. It helps them seal better and fixes squeaks. Just put a very small amount on with your finger.

This eliminate that rubbing sound I keep hearing where the window meets the door seal on my passenger side? So from what I understand, this won't get all over the window glass if I put some on the inside of the window gasket?

I use dielectric grease on seals, been using it for years on my Vettes with no issues. Also Silicone based.
