Exactly what I use.
Thread over!

Just kidding.

But that is what you should use. Experience working at Washburn and Hamer taught me that.

tape off the frets before taking steel wool to them.
dont want to take off the wood. granted it wouldnt be a lot, and its rosewood, so im assuming its unfinished but thats what i would do.
part habit. part caution.

frets polish nicely with a paste made from baking soda & water, but you need to tape the board to keep the paste from getting into the rosewood.

just use an old T-shirt or other cotton cloth.

Clean the fretboard with a little lemon oil. I finish everything off with a bit of carnuba wax and a really good buffing.

I use Liberon 0000 steel wool on my frets and rosewood and ebony fretboards -- it's wonderful stuff. A pack of Liberon might seem pricey, but it'll last you forever (unless you go and become a repair shop haha).

Cheers!
