One thing I've used with success is motorcycle chain lube. It sprays on as a thin penetrating oil like WD 40, and after several minutes coagulates into a thick grease.

I use Liquid Wrench White Lithium Grease Spray on each of the hinges using the small plastic tube applicator. I wipe off the excess.

I recommend a marine lube that won't dry out. I lube the hinges once/year.

Also, has anyone ever tried WD40’s white lithium grease?

I’ve heard that recommendation before 👍. Do you have any particular brands you’d suggest, please?

I use Lucas Oil 10320 Multi Purpose Marine Grease. You can find it on Amazon and I've also seen it at Advance Auto.

I'm not sure how you guys get grease in the hinge bushings with a brush. I use this on many things:
https://www.triflowlubricants.com/pr...t-drip-bottle/
I use it on my planes control surface hinges, cable guides, pulleys, Bicycle chains, Corvette door hinges. Works pretty good at a penetrating oil on rusty fasteners as well. Drip bottle works the best as the aerosol puts out to much material.
Don't lose the applicator straw:
