Treat it with reverence.......

I use the body and fingerboard kit from Dunlop...seems to work well.  Link below:

I only use a clean cloth or a little warm water if needed. On the fingerboard, very fine steel wool if necessary. Don't believe in oil, goop or polish.

Is your guitar gloss or satin finish?

[rockstar_not]

Mine is satin finish - I only treat the ebony on the fingerboard and bridge.  Lizard Spit is the brand - pretty sure it's just lemon oil cut with some other chemical.

That's exactly what i do too. I always make sure I give it a good wipe down after playing to remove dirt and grime so things don't build up. Had my L-03RE for over 6 years now and it still looks great.

While I'm a bit aggressive when cleaning my fretboard (including the use of steel wool, a toothbrush and, on occasion, a razor blade, ) I almost never use anything on the body except a damp cloth.  The secret is to wipe it down often.  Rarely, I might use a drop of guitar polish.

Belt sander and carnauba wax.

I just the 3M polish cloth that came with my larrivee. I usually use guitar polish when I change my strings that way I get a good cleaning done.
