the local poop boys has a little spray for frozen car locks that

Those are usually graphite in an alcohol spray. Works wonderful at
first, but the water in the graphite will eventually cause rust and
wreck the lock ;(

The stuff I used [from True Value hardware] was just alcohol- no
graphite. Followed it up with Lock-ease and the little woman says
the lock never worked better. Lock-ease is a "COLLOIDAL GRAPHITE
DISPERSION" in a petroleum base.

Again- good for locks, but not for the OP's problem, IMO.
