Default Door noise after applying WD40 silicone

Hi Forum,

Unfortunately, I have created a problem by myself. As a preventative measure, I applied WD40 silicone spray to the door hinges of a rear door. The door was basically fine before this procedure.

I now have a ugly noise when opening/closing the door which sounds like rubbing metal on metal.

I have tried to apply liquid wrench lithium grease to no avail.

I have attached a video showing the problem:

Honestly, I feel rather stupid after doing this. Could you please help me with fixing this?

Best regards,
Alexander

VAG has sprays for key cylinder and for door hinges. Try to ask Toyota/Lexus if they have similar products.
