What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Liquid, not a paste or wax
Wipes on and off with a cloth. No buffing cycle, no residue layer left sitting on the varnish.
Detail 03
For varnish, not wood
Meant for a sealed, finished surface. Not a conditioner for bare or exposed wood.
Detail 04
$25 price
A bottle lasts a long time at normal use. Cost per cleaning is very low.

- 03Keep it off the fingerboard, strings, and bow hair.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this take off rosin that has hardened on the top?
It handles dust and light film. Rosin that has baked on and hardened into the varnish needs a luthier, not a polish.
02Can I use it on a cello or viola?
Yes. It is made for violin-family varnish, and the finish on a viola or cello is the same.
03How often should I use it?
Wipe the instrument dry with a plain cloth after every session. Use polish occasionally, when a dry wipe stops keeping the finish clean.
04Is it safe on an old instrument?
Only if the varnish is sound. On an antique with worn, flaking, or crazed varnish, ask a luthier before applying anything.
