Concur!

The hood on my '82 was pretty stiff... lubed with some LPS-2 and now it works soooo smooooothly.

Don't forget the door hinges too... a small inexpensive grease gun is available that works perfectly with the older Volvo hinges with the dimple-type fitting in the hinge. Google "oregon products grease gun" and you'll find it. ~$10. Good option for those of us without a traditional grease gun.

And the door latch/window mechanism too... not too hard although you do need to pop off the door panels. But if I can do it anybody can.

All this stuff makes a huge difference in how well stuff works... doesn't cost much nor take a lot of time.
