Guitar Honey
I think everyone should use "guitar honey." Its a fretboard nutrient oil (made for Ebony, Rosewood, and other exotic woods, but works great on all fretboards). Its the best oil I've ever used and it really makes your fretboard look great. Anyone thats into taking care of their instrument; I highly recommend Guitar Honey.

I just use jizz. Less expensive and all natural.
Does it improve the sound/feel at all, or just the look? I like a dirty guitar. So no need to grease her up.

It improves the feel a bit...makes it smoother to play on...doesn't affect the sound at all though

Well, I use nose grease on my strings sometimes, but even my nose isn't big enough to do a whole fretboard. Thanks for the tip!

If you have to dry the neck from sweating you better get something on the epi so all that salt doesn't dry, warp, or crack the neck.
Is bore oil the same stuff you use on guns?
I just asked a friend and he said he only uses lemon oil about twice a year.

I think I clean my neck every year, once a year, or something.....I use a napkin with some water on it..and just elbow grease besides that. I kinda like the gritty feel of it though, smooth, liquidy necks kinda....gross me out somehow.

http://www.zzounds.com/item--DNP6500 i use this kit, i clean mine once every few months. I hate the feeling of a gritty guitar.
Some questions now...
Axe Wax wtf? on your neck, your not supposed to use wax "You do not want to apply a waxy residue to the fretboard, you merely want to clean it and leave a very thin oil protectant."
and napkin and some water, haha, do not apply water or products containing water to the natural finish of a guitar neck and fretboard.
also about the citrus furniture polish, go here like yjm said http://www.muzique.com/schem/fret.htm has a lot of info on lemon stuff.
