My opinion, Get some nice clean soft cotton cloth (I buy them from auto parts store). Rinse the cloth in warmish water and ring out real good. Start cleanin'.... Dry with a clean dry cloth.
Will not hurt the finish and will typically get all the gunk off... Then you can polish with appropriate guitar cleaner. I use Gibson "Orange label" Pump Polish. Spray on the cloth.. not on the instrument.
I sometimes use Naptha occasionally, (before using guitar polish/cleaner) if there is something really icky.. But again IMO.
Hope this helps.
