   Ask the Marker importer for their recommendations. Some need a special lubricant that must be applied only by certified binding mechanics. Some others may use a generic lubricant. As little as you like the idea, the shops know what and how to use it.

   Don’t touch your own bindings. Take them to a shop and even then, there is no special lube that you can use on bindings. Bindings are designed to work a certain way and if you start messing with them your just asking for trouble. Anybody that says other wise has no idea what they are talking about. Please, if you want to clean them just take a clean cloth to them and thats all.

   Do not lubricate your bindings unless directly recommended by the manufacturer. Most bindings are designed not to require lubrication. If they are lubricated they will not retain their settings and will start to release prematurely.

   Honestly, lubrication really isn’t that big of a deal with bindings. For most users, by the time that the bindings would actually NEED lube, you would mostly have worn out the binding. The Din springs etc start to lose tension by the time you would actually need the lube. Besides, you shouldn’t ski on old bindings – it’s not all that safe.

   Most all bindings (and especially Marker, i own 3 pair) come with lube already packed – and trust me, there is plenty to last you for your entire use of the binding. Just don’t worry about the lube: my advice. If you still want to though, for Marker bindings, general use grease works well as long as its clean, and not liberally applied.

   Are you going to also tune the skis? Or are you just concerned with bindings?
