If you don't want spray crap all over, Honda makes lithium grease paste.

Rubbing paste grease all over the outside of the hinge will do a lot of good. By the way, Honda sells the grease, they don't make it.

Fair enough, if you want to be anal about it. They probably don't make the majority of their fluids and maintenance chemicals, but they sell them under the Honda brand.
