You can even use them regularly to clean your Guitar without any needed polishes (in case of daily cleaning when your Guitar is not too dirty)
2. Guitar Polish / Guitar Cleaner
As I said above, you cannot use just any kind of detergent on your Guitar. A specialized Guitar polish will remove all doubts because it does not contain any harmful chemicals that will destroy your instruments.
Here I will suggest some significant ones for your reference…

3. Oil
Oil provides a protective barrier, conditions the wood and stops it drying out. It is divided into 4 main types: natural mineral, petroleum distillates, bore oil and lemon oil with their own pros. However, remember that oil is usually suitable for most fretboards except for the Maple ones, which have a hard and lacquered finish (it will have no effect, and could even harm the lacquer).

Representing the bore oil product line, Music Nomad MN702 will be worth considering. It is free of lemon, water, and petroleum, so you don’t need to worry about damage or unwanted residue. It’s made entirely of natural minerals, which nourish the fingerboard and restore the smoothness of the instrument. However, you should not expect that it will protect the Guitar from grime.
