Default NGD Martin 00-18c - finish protection question

Actually got my guitar last week, but just now posting. Picked up a 1965 Martin 00-18c on ebay. It's in nice condition, and I was wondering what would be best to use on the top to keep it looking good. Currently there is no finish cracks or crazing and I would like to keep it that way. Any suggestions?

I have a '66 00-28C and a '57 00-18G. The 28C is almost pristine but I treat them both the same. Only wipe them down with a soft polishing cloth intended for use on guitars. I think the ones they sell these days are micro-fiber. If your guitar has some stubborn marks or dirt a slightly damp cloth will help. Do not use polish, wax or oils.
