to clean my guitar and bass i use two or three things things, firstly for the frets i use a lemon oil(or a citris oil that i have lying around), a old shirt to apply it, i then use the other side of the ****e to clean the body.
this is for the 'big' clean, other than that i use a small cloth that came with my sun glasses for the 'small' cleaning.

Could you explain what string gauges do sound-wise for a guitar. For instance I play alot of classic rock stuff, what would be my best bet?
Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.

If its classic rock and not super heavy/thrash/death metal then give 9's a try.9's are a bit easier to bend too.You could play heavier stuff with 9's but they wont last long.10's give a bit more of a dense tone,while 9's are slightly brighter.11's are great if you dont plan on playing much lead,and strum/pick with your entire arm instead of your wrist.
Anyway...yeah,go try out 9's and see if there comfortable for you and if you like the tone.
Try once,fail twice...
