With your fingers, preferably with a latex glove.
A heavy duty spray oil might be better at seeping into seams and cracks, but it's almost impossible to avoid oil overspray. Good oils will resist even a thorough was afterwards (after all, you want the product to be as sticky and long lasting as possible) so you might want to consider putting up paper over all local areas if you're going to use spray grease.
Are you looking to grease all of them?

CLP - it's designed for firearms but is a very thin lube that can seep into the exterior hinges and provide corrosion resistance. Typical grease is too thick and will just trap moisture.

I have to admit I'm confused. On another thread ACF-50 and CRC are touted, here it's CLP, Blaster and Lucas. My question is will any of these do for hinges, door seals, windshield seal, etc.. Undercarriage is a whole different thing.

For anti sqeak on the door seals I'd use a silicone grease, for under the windshield seal I'd use a water displacing corrosion inhibitor.

CLP is just for metal on metal and a very thin lubricant film with anti corrosion properties, ideal for the exposed door hinges on the G.

Because the 463 hinges are a closed design with no zerk traditional grease is too thick to fully coat or protect the 463 hinges and will only trap moisture into the center of the assembly.
