I've used Martin Guitar polish ever since I started. I've heard that lemon oil can be bad. It can work its way under the finish (on the body) and lift it causing the wood to become saturated. I'd only use it on a fretboard if it seems dry. Naptha (lighter fluid) is a pretty common alternative for a cleaner. It might leave a slight haze, but you can polish it off.
