I don't use any product to clean hand oils, sweat , etc. from guns before oiling the metal down. I wipe them very briskly with a clean, dry cloth to remove as much loose stuff as possible. Then, I wipe down the metal with a cloth impregnated with Eezox. This is for guns that will be used relatively soon, again. Different stuff for guns going into medium to long term storage.
The wood gets a coat or two of Renaissance Wax every so often.
Understand that this is in reference to the exterior fo the gun. Much more attention is given the interior parts.
Works for me.
