Thanks for posting that vid!!!
To keep things less messy (as shown in vid) I advise cleaning the hitch jaws and kingpin, then apply about one-two pumps from standard grease gun on the kingpin with your finger on the surface the hitch jaws contact.
Personally I would not use the spray Lithium grease as it will get places you don't want it. I prefer a squeeze tube of the White Lithium Grease. I apply it to the top and sides of the rubber mount with my finger.
Solvent is NOT required to clean any of the grease off. A paper towel works just fine!
