I thought it was crazy until I tried it, but WD-40 works amazing! 3 weeks between cleanings and it looks like it just came off the showroom floor. Just spray it on and wipe it off. It smokes a little the first time you run it, but it goes away.

S100 sold by HD. Spray on and wash off. Not cheap but it works well.
