I did a search to no avail. Any thoughts on this product? It got rave reviews on the Les Paul forum.

Well I sure wouldn't use it on my Bakelite, but it seems legit for the wood instruments.

As you probably know, Virtuoso makes both a cleaner and a polish.
As a dealer in vintage instruments I searched many years for a non-abrasive cleaner until I tried the Virtuoso cleaner. That's all I use now. It safely and non-abrasively removes all nicotine, dirt, stains, etc. down to the original finish. It might take a few applications depending on how bad the finish is. I swear by it.
The Virtuoso polish is good, too, although I don't use it as much, usually preferring to leave the original finish untouched on a vintage instrument. Still, when I do use a polish, it is the one I use. |

I've been using Super Nikco as a non abrasive cleaner. It is safe to use on violin finishes or varnish mandolin finish also. I even use it on Bakelite too. It's made in France, and aimed at the high end violin restoration people.
Once you get your instrument cleaned, I've used Gerlitz pure Carnuba Wax, the best stuff out there. |
