What go you guys use to clean your guitars? I use a polishing cloth but never any chemicals, what do you guys like to use for your maple fretboards etc?

Not really. I coulkdn't tell you the brand of the ones i have. the only thing to keep in mind, is when you wash them, no fabric softener,or dryer sheets, as it will leave residue that is abrasive.

For a newbie like me its valuable to know that instrument can be washed. I have till now always use soft cloth to dry wipe it.
