How to clean your CF fretboard
I notice that the fingerprint is quite obvious with carbon fiber fretboard. Is there any suggestion about the suggested treatment of it?

Which guitar? Most CF instruments have a glossy cast epoxy (?) fret board which is polished. You should be able to clean that with almost anything, including a dry cloth run under the strings while in place, or a damp cloth when strings are off. Recent Emerald guitars have begun using a matte unidirectional CF veneer, so they probably don't show fingerprints or smudges. I will find out when my custom X20 comes later this summer, being my first example of the new fret board.
At least you won't have to "oil" or "feed" them. |

RainSong recommends a couple of Meguiar's car detailing products for cleaning and polishing their guitars (I think the details are available on their site). But I've never needed anything more than Windex and a paper towel to get mine looking new again.

Cleaning
Just got my 1st CF Guitar Rainsong APLE. RS recommends McGuires and I had some in the shed, they are right. It works great.

I've used Meguiar's Quik Detailer, as recommended by RainSong, for my APLE, Journey, and now my Emerald. I am pleased with the results.
