Default squeaky clutch?

my clutch on my 06 has been squeaking when i press the clutch in to shift. it has been really bothering me all the sudden, and i need to get it to stop. i dont know if it has always been like that,and,or if other cars do it too. i tried sprayin some wd40 and silicone spray. but, that didnt fix the glitch. does anybody else have this annoying problem?? or, how to stop the squeaking?

Mine started squeaking after I installed the C5 clutch spring, I applied some white lithium grease to the coils and attachment points. But the squeak stayed. I finally shot some tri-flow into the pivot point of the (clutch) pedal arm & that solved it.
I didn't think it would last but its been silent for about 4 months.

Tri-flo is a great lubricant with teflon in it. I don't know where to buy it locally though. Anybody know of a national retailer that carries this stuff?
