Well for wrapping the coat I and my breeders do oil prior to wrapping. I use Moroccan Oil for this, and yes it is organic. But I do make up my own concoction for a grooming spray, and for show days I use Vellus anti-static spray.
There are so many wonderfull shampoos and conditioners out there. On the grooming thread, there is a very long post on conditioners for cotton coats, which contains lots of info on what folks are using.
Most of the other exhibitors on here I think might be at shows this wkend, so you may have to check back in a day or two for more answers.
