I use lemon oil, applying as little as possible and making sure it's well rubbed in.

clean using naptha or some warm water. I use a very soft toochbrush to disturb the gunk.

after that apply a light coating of lemon oil WITHOUT sillicates or waxes. Dr Dux axe wax is a good brand for that. wipe it off after about 10 seconds.

You only need to do this once in a long while.
