Thanks!
Do I just brush it onto the hinges? or do I have to knock out the pins a bit to get the oil in there?

Its a spray, but it has a small plastic tube so you can get it in close, you shouldn't need to take out the pins it penetrates very well

Jip Q20 is best, spray on top of hinge so it runs down the whole hinge, squeak will disappear
I have a lot more DIY tips if you need them ;) xxx

If you are in a dusty area the oil will clog up creating grinding paste. In such a case get graphite powder but the oil/q20 will work in most cases

Now just be certain of your applications here. Q20 is NOT a lubricant for all occasions :))
On another note:
I'm actually surprised HRH le Roux can diy. People with eyes like hers can surely just look at a guy and then watch him eagerly doing for her ;)

Olive oil applied with a ear bud, or Doom.Yes Doom is oil based, but Q20, cable ties, duct tape and a starflat screw driver is all you need to fix most problems.
