So apparently I use basically the same thing as everybody else here. It's great stuff though; makes an old neglected fretboard feel so nice.

I use this too and it works great. Also use a micro fiber cloth with it.

seems like Lemon Oil is a winning choice!

I use Fast Fret to wipe it down, and the rag to get those nasty frets.
I started using it in 1999. I've only bought two bottles in that time. shit last. I'm satisfied with the product.

Says so on the bottle.

I don't think Maple really needs the qualities that lemon oil offers, I think maple is better with mineral oil (or fast fret as mentioned, same stuff).

A mixture of unicorn semen and dodo blood.

Seriously, no one tried beeswax polish on rosewood? Sooo good.

seriously though, ive only used lemon oil on rosewood and billet polish on aluminum. ive never done anything more than wipe ebony and maple with a rag.

scrap the fretboard with a razor blade
rub 0000 steel wool over the wood
rub boiled linseed oil on the fretboard

i'm not letting steel wool anywhere near a guitar of mine, especially after buying used necks on eBay and seeing the condition of some of the fretboards. i use whatever kind of fretboard conditioner i've most recently gotten from the guitar shop. right now i'm using Planet Waves and a soft cloth.
