What is the correct way to polish an instrument?<br />
Excellent question! Most importantly, start with one small section at a time,<br />
not a large section or the entire back, for example. I have seen more than<br />
a few players, even seasoned professionals, create quite a mess by trying<br />
to clean too large an area at a time. Whenever using a new brand of cleaner<br />
or polish for the first time, be sure to test it first on a small, inconsipuous<br />
spot. The directions you see below, which are found on the Professional<br />
Luthier Polish, detail an excellent technique for cleaning and polishing...<br />
Directions:<br />
Place appoximately 10-15 drops of polish on a clean, soft, folded cotton or<br />
microfiber cloth or clean soft folded paper towel. Using moderate pressure, rub polish<br />
onto varnish in a circular motion in 1” or larger circles. Wipe off polish before it has<br />
dried with another clean soft cloth or soft paper towel. Use light to moderate pressure<br />
either in a circular motion or in the direction of the grain.<br />

Professional Luthier Polish<br />
We highly recommend this German made Professional Luthier<br />
Polish for use on fine instruments that are older and/or highly<br />
valued. This polish is the original formula used for decades by<br />
the world’s finest violin shops including the SHAR Repair &<br />
Restoration Shop. The reason that the Professional Luthier<br />
Polish is the choice of fine restoration shops is because of it’s<br />
effectiveness as a polish and cleaner while at the same time being<br />
mild enough to not cause damage to soft and/or delicate varnish.<br />
IMPORTANT: Some varnish is so delicate that even a very<br />
damp cloth will remove varnish, so we strongly advise players to<br />
follow the directions listed on this page regarding “How to polish<br />
an instrument”.<br />
