I knew about this trick, but I haven't used it in years and yesterday I remembed it (thus wanted to post it here today).

If you are finding your ignition lock or ignition getting rough then just pull out a normal can of WD-40 and squirt some down into the lock. Works great and is a really good idea for winter as you won't get any ice forming in the lock either.

Just a simple trick that works.

Only problem with that is that WD40 attracts dust and dirt.
Instead go to a hobby shop and grab some graphite lube. Does just as good lubricating but doesn't attract all of that extra crap!

Another great suggestion there.
