I wouldn't use WD40. It will quite likely dry out/damage the rubber seals. WD40 say it's ok but who knows. And fox don't mention it, so no need.
Fox says mild soap and water.

Can anyone suggest me some good post-ride sus fork maintenance?
Having ridden mainly rigid singlespeeds for the last couple decades I'm used to riding my bike hard and putting it away dirty. And then brushing the mud off with a stiff broom once it's dried.
Now that I've built a bike with a Fox fork though I'm realising it needs a bit more care. So far I've been wiping the uppers and seals to get rid of dirt and giving the uppers a wee spray with WD40 or the like. This ok or is there something better I could be doing? Suspension specific lubes or anything?
