Spring Wrap Method?

Anyone have the details on how to wrap noisy springs with the wire wrap from Radio Shack? I'm looking for the exact type of wrap you used and how you did it. I've got a nagging noise still coming from the front left front, and want to try to silence it. Everything up front is new, so I shouldn't be getting the noise at all.

Clear Vinyl Tubing (usually used for water like water fountains and refridgerators). I was told it doesn't freeze easily, nor will it harden with age (well, guess it depends on how many decades?). Get a caliper, measure the diameter of a coil, and get the appropriate size. I went with 5/8" inside diameter, and 7/8" outside. I have sprint springs. The rears required some creativity to install. The fronts were as easy as slipping it on (had to use a lil lube cuz 5/8" is exact diameter).
