hello everyone!! I've decided to not sell my violin, I've tuned it to the right sound, and changed the bridge, it sounded amazing now!! i will try and change the strings soon....(I've found a violin string labeled \"Alice\" (the same as with this polisher), wondering if anybody here have used that kind of string, since that's the only brand of string for sale in my country)
anyway....bought this violin polisher for only a quid, made in china, and it is a spray on polisher, here's a picture:
the contents says:
-89.0% water
-5.0% ISO PARH
-5.8% silicone oil
-0.1% jasmine oil
-0.1% pine oil
at first i thought that it was just a liquid that just cheats you on thinking that it's a polisher, but it turned out great! I've tried it on my violin, and it shined like new! now guys, what kind of polisher do you use for yer fiddles? and how often do you polish 'em?
cheers! - ⁰ℨ

I use W.E. Hills & Sons varnish cleaner and use it about twice a year on my German. The chinese Cremona gets it once a year but its got a harder finish

Is it just me or do some finishes smell funny or bad.

looks like that polish is mostly water with a tiny bit of oil in it...

Let me guess - you soak some crushed nuts from a tree in your yard in your infamous homebrewed mountain dew to extract the oils for polish...

@springer, nah, this polisher smells like lemon,
@cdennyb, lemme guess....a drop of blood from a half unicorn half leprechaun, plus a dash of paganini's soul, and a drop of cold spring water from the middle of an active volcano, mix them together only when the planets align and the sun cries(literally cries).....?
cheers! - ⁰ℨ
