W.E. Hill & Sons Cleaning Fluid

A varnish cleaner by a well known maker

If you need to clean your instrument or refresh it after tons of rosin, you should generally ask your luthiers opinion or let him do it by himself

However on the rare occasions in which you need to do it yourself there is a nice and handy alternative offered by this cleaner

apply it in small drops in a cloth and try it in a small area before using it on the whole instrument just to make sure everything is ok

It has a strong (but nice smell) at first. To me it smelled like a camphor extract but of course I could not be sure of the exact ingredients...
