I use Manitou Prep M on my Mars1 fork (now that it's safely back home), and the others... heh, I
guess I don't do anything to them until it's time for an overhaul. I try to keep the wipers clean
from all the gunk that collects on them, but that's all.

Most mfgs. have pretty specific direction regarding what kind of lube to use. Read your manual or
look it up on the web. It can vary by brand.

I just wash and wipe dry, but I'm guessing that a light coating of automotive transmission fluid
would be good because it won't harm rubber or plastic things; such as seals, dust covers, etc.
Others I'm sure have more wisdom on this.
