That stuff is pretty slick after the liquid carrier evaporates off and leaves just the graphite coating the inside of the lock, or switch. I tried this on a .22 rimfire target rifle trigger and it made the trigger feel like a smooth piece of glass. Just wondered if anyone has tried it on the XF ignition switch and key. I'd like to hear everyone's opinion or experience with this.

Try it, you’ll regret it but what the heck at least you tried.
Do you think that after all these years the solution recommended is a waste of time and an easier solution like you state works?
I say go for it, if only to prove that the original solution works.
