I use Armor All. On everything. My Hagstrom, My acoustics, my Gibson L6. My amp, my cases... You get the drift.
Never considered chemical properties, but is has never done apparent harm. And since I started using it, I have never had to buy FastFret.
Edit to add:
I have also used lemon oil on my fretboards to juice them up.
...so ever since then, I always hang on to the buckle.
