Put some liquid silicone on a rag and wipe them off with it. It will leave enough silicone on the tracks to lubricate then but not enough to make a mess.

From Lowe's, Home Depot or probably any hardware store, there's a silicone grease used for lubing window rails, that comes in a small container and has a little more body to it than the aerosol spray silicones plus can be easily applied. Just a little goes a long way.

I too use a silicone lubricant vs. the recommended 3-in-1 oil (just a drop on the bed rollers).  I apply very carefully so as not to get any lubricant on canvas, or other materials.  As another mentioned, using a rag to apply will work.  No smell or greasy residue, but it works well.

I use RV slide out lube.  It dries so there isn't anything to gunk up.  I spray it on the wheels and the aluminum rails.
