We just hit -1 here (and more chill with wind-chill factor). The two cars
I've treated with graphite power is squeaking when I tried to lock and
unlock 'em. Anyone has other ideas?

The problem with the above two you mention is they will bring the gunk
with the key -- which usually goes into the pocket. Not very convenient,
but good solution on other placeses where messiness is not a concern.
