My Micro could use a nice exterior cleaning. Any safe products you recommend?

I hope you mean with "exterior cleaning" all parts of the housing outside, not metal outer patrs like jacks, etc.
I cleaned my Minimoog and Polymoog recently just only with 95% alcohol and the result was perfect, black and dirty cleaning cloth and shiny sufaces at the end. For the wooden parts I always take shaftoil from the gunmaker. Gives you also very good smell.
As well did my tech with the T1 a few years ago.
But I think simple oil can do the job as well as I used also from time to time.
DON`T RUB TOO HARD

.....................I mean, on th the instrument`s surfaces.........

There is this really cheap cleaning supply called "Awesome" which is...awesome. Needs to be diluted a little but man will it really make stuff look brand new.
