Clean FB and bridge surfaces with 0000 steel wool rubbing with the grain direction. (Its OK to rub the steel wool over the top of the frets.)
Vacuum all surfaces and surrounding areas.
Liberally apply conditioner and allow to penetrate and soak in. The longer the better.
After you have allowed the product to penetrate sufficiently, buff all surfaces with clean soft cotton cloth. Todd suggested using an old sock turned inside out.
Install strings and enjoy.
Product can be re-applied after each string change if you think its needed?
*** NOTE *** The steel wool will generate some abrasive dust and it WILL scratch finished surfaces so please be careful. I suggest using a vacuum to remove all trace amounts of the steel wool dust prior to applying the conditioner. Do not wipe the dust off or you could scratch the finish.

THIS STUFF SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT PRODUCT,
And, If your instrument has a magnetic pickup be VERY careful about steel wool dust residue. It can be attracted to the pup. Not good.
I was warned about this with the older Taylor ES 1 pups. The early ones have a mag pup inside the neck under the Fretboard at about the 14th fret.
I just use the scruffy side of a 3m dish sponge in the same manner. And it seems to do the trick just fine.
I will be ordering a tin! Thanks for the demo, Todd!!!
