Hood Issues
my dealer Infiniti of Mobile refused to replace it saying it was because my car had been in a wreck, which it hasn't. I love my car, but I will buy another brand before dealing with those people further.
Are you sure there is a TSB? I haven't seen one. The dealership actually didn't want to cover it at first, but backed down once I threatened to cancel my extended warranty.
Thats what the guy from the infinity said as soon as I showed him the hood.
I had the driver side of the hood raised. And when I try openning it, the hood would rub against the body.
When I brought it to the body shop, the guy told me that the hinges are actually weak for our heavy hood. The one he will be installing is actually stronger. (not word per word conversation but that's all I can remember).

That's crazy ($250). My issue was on the drivers side, so the WD-40 trick worked for me 3 years ago and I haven't had an issue since. I think during the assembly of these cars, the guy responsible for lubricating these hinges was stoned or asleep.
As far as your rag remedy, what about if/when you have your car serviced by others (assuming you do)? They could mess up your hood/paint.

Be sure to use some white lithium grease to keep it moving, as liquid wrench won't last very long, lubricants are not grease.
+1000, use the right product for the job.
