Cleaned my kids violins in preparation for a new school year, it removed all the stickiness and left behind beautiful varnish! So glad I found this product!

I used this to restore a nice violin and it cleaned off all the old dirt and grime making it look beautiful and shiny again. It does have a slight smell some might find unpleasant but it is somewhat mild. This will help protect your instrument's varnish with a small layer of coating when it's applied and dried.

Not sure how it compares to other cleaners, but seems fine. Not a heavy duty cleaner. If you have a LOT of rosin buildup, this may not be the right product for you.

This product does a good job of removing rosin without damaging the finish of my fiddle. There were several years of rosin build up on my old fiddle. My fiddle is not one with the new high gloss varnish finish, but a hundred years old. This product did not harm that old finish.

These good reviews are all what I hoped for. I definitely have dirt on my microfiber cloth. One violin seems pretty clean and my Travel Whipplestick looks good. and the stuff does smell good :-) But my old, beat up violin, Aurelia, still has smudges on the front that won't go away. I started with a little product, and then went for liberal quantities and a lot of elbow grease to buff her. But the 100+/- years of drool and handling maybe has just done her in....I'll try a different brand next time to see if I get even better results. It may be that this fiddle is beyond beautifying.

I have a 20 yr old cello which hadn’t been cleaned - ever! Reading about Hidersine and talking with other cellists convinced me to give the product a try. It works fabulously and renewed the finish to my cello like magic. I was worried the product would destabilize my varnish but all is well. Is it possible that the cello sounds better 😊??

I purchased a very old violin from ebay that had been sitting in someone's attic for years. The instrument had a lot of old rosin caked on the top, decades of dirt and dust layered in spots, and a strong musty odor. Even the metal fine tuner had this odor that's how strong it was. After using this product 90% of the dirt and rosin is gone, the finish has a nice silky patina, and all the parts I cleaned smell much better! The cleaner has a nice fresh pine kind of scent, which fades after a bit but I think it smells quite pleasant. Considering this is half of the price of the Hill cleaner (and made by the same company ;) ), I would certainly recommend this product, but with a few tips:1) Use it in a very small amount on an inconspicuous area of the instrument first, it case it harms the finish.2) Apply it conservatively, a little goes a long way and its better to clean off the gunk a little at a time.3) Buff the finish with a microfiber instrument cleaning cloth afterwards to remove the excess cleaner and give a handsome shine.4) Never use any cleaner or polish too often, its always better to use a few chemicals as possible on your instrument. Once or twice a month is usually the recommended maximum. I prefer once or twice a year myself.I thought it was a shame this great product had no reviews, but after trying it I can say it really deserves these 5 stars!
