There are definitely some products that can help you with that.

Roadmaster recommends using a dry silicone spray lubricant like # RM-747, as grease or WD-40 can actually cause dirt and debris to stick, making the problem worse. Before lubricating, Roadmaster recommends using a cleaner like their # RM-9932.

I've linked to the owner's manual for the # RM-522 Falcon All-Terrain tow bar, on page 9 you can see the cleaning/lubrication recommendations.
