lube for MK IV door hinges

[Silverstoned]

It looks like the dealership used some sort of white lithium spray grease on the hinges? I have a small creak coming from my driver's door and was curious what type of lube I should use. I figured I could spray some WD-40 in there but it the creak would come back, and what lube was in there would just be washed out by the WD-40.

Suggestions?

lithium is best. it won't eat and rubber parts in the door over time. the rubber in door stoppers and bumpers isn't always oil resistant.
