this won't solve your current dilemma, but it will keep it from reoccurring:

wash your hands before playing. wipe the neck down with a dry, clean cloth after playing.

The frontside of your T-shirt.

I've always used fine steel wool . . .

YMMV

oh ok. I just didnt know if there was some sort of cleaner, since it seems like they have one for every other part of the bass.

Depends on the finish. The chemicals, waxes, oils, etc. may change but I always end up using #0000 steel wool.

I use Dunlop's Cleaner Polish Formula 65 and it does a good job. Here is a link:
