What about cleaners and care kits?

Hi
I'm looking to buy a Care kit but am not sure about how good they are.
I thinking of buying one of these:

-Dunlop System 65 Guitar Maintenance Kit
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/produ...Kit?sku=425269

-Fender Instrument Care Kit by Meguiar's
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/produ...ars?sku=420795

I've heard that kind of kit damages the fretboard, but I'm not sure about it

What do you guys think? Is a good investment or not?

Thanks

Others like lemon oil straight up.

I've heard a few people who like different guitar polishes, but the way I look at it, my instrument really is a piece of fine woodwork and I should treat it pretty much like I treat other woodwork items.

I've used Pledge for more than twenty year son instruments, antiques, etc. Works great on a rosewood fretboard.
