Is there some reason you can't just use regular guitar polish? Dunlop 65?
Are we talking about some part of the guitar other than the top? |

I think that the top of the guitar is just painted, not clear coated. I don't know how durable it is to abrasive cleansers or polishes. A slightly damp cloth should be all you need to clean the guitar. Just a tiny amount of soap if there is some grunge that the damp won't take off.
I wouldn't bother waxing the top.
The neck can be cleaned with something like the Dunlop 65 products, or just use the damp cloth. DO NOT use a wax on the back of the neck because it will be sticky to the palm of your hand as you play. The fretboard can be cleaned and conditioned using any of a number of products. Dunlop sells a cleaner/conditioner kit. Currently I use Clayton USA Lemon oil on my fretboards. Seems ok. |
