Guitarists, how do you clean your fretboard?

I normally wipe it down with Old English, and that usually does the trick. However, I used it for the first time on a guitar I recently acquired, and after 2 days the wood still looks dry and cracked.

What kind of fretboard do you have? I have a telecaster with a lacquered maple neck and I use Gibson Guitar Polish and it does the trick. I assume you could use the same polish for a rosewood fretboard.

Rosewood. Is that available at any shop?

Pretty much any music store should carry it. Use a chamois cloth with the polish. They should also sell that at any music store as well.

I use a Jim Dunlop cleaning kit, it has sprays and cleaners for the fretboard and body . I can't remember the exit name, it came with 5 different bottles though
