Any Auto Parts store should carry it. The White lithium spray smells really bad though. Stick with the grease and you should be good.

White Lithium Grease FTW!!!

please dont say anything if you dont know anything... never use WD40 on any plastic parts because WD40 eats plastic faster than you can read this post.

edit: instead try some pure silicon oil. should be avaible at your local hobby store. i used to use on my airsoft guns and it doesnt eat plastic at all (in fact if its pure silicon oil it helps condition the plastic). but make sure its PURE SILICON oil (read the label).
