I used to use Kyser Dr Stringfellow Lem Oil, but after a while, a luthier friend of mine turned me on to Behlen Fingerboard Oil. They carried it at Woodcraft near where we lived, and that was a brand of lacquer he used to use when spraying guitars. I gave it a shot and I dig the stuff. A bottle goes a looooong way.

3. Then I went Fast Frets, which seemed like a happy medium.
4. Then @Monkey Man turned me onto Miracle Cloth. Love these and they show how dirty my strings really are :lol:
5. But lately I've migrated to-
