at least any lemon oil lol
but dunlop i would recomend.

make sure to wipe everything down with a dry cloth,it is a bit sticky if wet patches are left,but a simple wipe will sort that

a few years ago i bought a bottle of this,i was a learner,the label had been partially ripped off,the bit that was missing was

''step 4.wipe down fretboard with dry cloth''

it was like playing on tar,i was gutted lol
