Keeping my Roscoe clean!

Hey guys,
This bass is my first bass that has an unfinished neck. I was wondering what product(s) you suggest to keep the neck clean of gunk and the body finish at it's incredible level of beauty?
Thanks,
fishheadjoe

The back of the neck has finish unless you special ordered it without. I can't remember the polish I use, it is something Gold, I will have to look.

Planet Waves makes some great cleaning and polishing products. I've also used Sadowsky polish and Alembic polish with very good results. Yeah, the finish on Roscoe necks must be a proprietary coating -- I've not seen or felt one like it before.

Nothing special or secret about the finish on the neck: un-buffed nitrocellulose lacquer!

Oh, my polish is Virtuoso Polish, it has gold lettering I guess that is why I was thinking it was called something Gold. This stuff puts a very nice shine on a Roscoe.
