I have a small blue aerosol can of LockEase that has powdered graphite
in a suspension of some kind of solvents. It flushes crud out and
displaces it with graphite. I spray my door locks and ignition three or
four times a year, especially when it's 'road salt season'.

Yes, it's messy on the key the first two or three times you use the
lock. Keep a tissue handy. On sedans the trunk lock sometimes gets
neglected because some folks never stick the key in there.

Not sure where I bought the stuff cuz it's lasting for years.
