Virtuoso Premium Cleaner is a superior musical instrument care product that were especially developed for vintage guitars and other musical instruments. Vintage instruments with nitrocellulose lacquer finishes require more care and attention than modern polyurethane finishes that are being produced today. The cleaner is different than any other cleaner that you may have used with your musical instruments in the past. Virtuoso Premium Cleaner was created to cut through years of build up whether it is wax, sweat, spilled beverages or cigarette smoke. If your musical instrument is already clean, we suggest you use Virtuoso Premium Polish. In addition to offering your instrument a high luster, fingerprint resistant finish, the Virtuoso Premium Polish also provides a very high degree of UV protection. Both the Virtuoso Premium Polish and Virtuoso Premium Cleaner use a chemical reaction to break down residues. We do not use abrasives, which can harm the original finish of your instruments

Really works!
I used this in my 50+ year old Martin D18 with great success. Parts I thought were permanently damaged came back to life with a little elbow grease. I found it most effective if I put a small dollop on and rubbed it in with my fingers before taking the soft cloth to it. I could feel the grime lifting.

no noticeable improvement with a sticky nitrocellulose finish
This product was recommended to me for use with my guitar's nitrocellulose finish. Nitro finishes tend to feel a bit "sticky" when they interact with sweat, so I hoped this would reduce that. While it does a fine job removing residual sweat and gunk, I can't say that it makes any difference while playing the guitar. It's possible that I need to apply it for a while to see if there is a difference, but thus far it hasn't made any difference.If I see a difference I will update my review. Until then, it seems like just another pricey instrument cleaner.

It did the job without complications.
My Mossman acoustic I bought new in 1992 recently developed a haze on the finish from something (I don't know what) used to polish it the last time I had it set up. I tried microfiber clothes alone, and it looked alright at first, but the greasy haze would come back. I did a lot of research, and finally decided to try a little bit of naptha on linen. That got me most of the way there. I then ordered and used the Virtuoso Premium Cleaner. That got me the rest of the way there. I followed it up with the Virtuoso Premium Instrument Polish. The guitar now looks almost as good as it sounds.

The Best
This is the best you can get for cleaning up your guitar. Tackles even old grease (bought a used Martin, someone must have been playing it in the kitchen.)

It is VERY GOOD!
Totally worth it. This works way better than the spray kind of guitar cleaner. It gets all the finger prints and small scratches out. Great stuff. I’ll always get this from now on.
