1990 Warwick Thumb NT 5 - Hopefully arriving tomorrow.

Already have a care package standing by (Wax, lemon oil and fret polish rubber).

Nice bass, but don't use lemon oil on wenge fretboards.
Doesn't do a good job at all, try Boiled Linseed Oil instead.

Lemon oil is a mineral oil with lemon scent (one can probably also use the IKEA mineral oil) and it remains wet and slowly evaporates, but boiled linseed oil polymerises. I use Dunlop lemon oil mainly for cleaning once per year. You can also use teak oil, which stays 'wet', but it tints dark woods like ebony, wenge...

So guys, if I want to clear up the smudge around the playing position and volume knob am I looking at sanding or will cleaning and waxing do?
And if sanding is the thing to do, what grain?
I dialed back the contrast on this pic because I think the seller has been hyping up his photos a bit. Seems about natural like this at -20% contrast...

You’ll need cleaning first, and remove the buttons. I don’t yjink sanding will be necessary. Try at first with some dishsoap in water (not bathed, just cleansed ) I’m personally a big fan of window cleaner as it degreases and cleans with some alcohol. Of course you’ll need to wax afterwards.
