What Our Customers Are Saying:

  • "I picked up a bottle of Virtuoso Polish and tried one more application of the Virtuoso Cleaner on my D-28. The swirls and streaks were now gone, but the finish was dull. One coat of Virtuoso Polish took care of that! The guitar looks brand new. Virtuoso Polish and Cleaner are the best guitar finish products I have used in my 40 years of playing. I'll have no problem recommending your products to my friends and relatives. Your products are the best and your promptness and obvious care about your customers is outstanding. Thank you!"

  • "Wow, that was quick. The shipping to Sweden took only 4 days! I know it isn't meant for guitars with a non-gloss finish, but that's only if you wanna keep'em non-glossy :-) I just finished cleaning my les paul standard faded with this stuff and now the whole guitar looks like the shiny areas it got from where my arm usually rests....It really made the flames in the top look deeper but it didn't take away the faded look that i want. Now it really looks like an old guitar, but an old guitar someone took good care of! I wanna keep your stuff my secret, but i think i'll start telling everyone i know tomorrow!"

  • "I received my first order last week and to say I am impressed is an understatement. Previously I have tried virtually every product on the UK market but have never found anything that cuts through that inground haze that most instruments accumulate. I am  looking forward to working through my collection with your products!  Many Thanks!"

  • Many guitar polishes can cloud an older finish rather than improve appearence. My preferred polish and cleaner-especially for older finishes- is Virtuoso".

    for vintage finishes and care. March 2002 issue, page 68.

  • "I received my cleaner and polish last week and used both products on my Guild DV52. This guitar has a nitrocellulose finish and though I’m not sure I really needed the cleaner the instrument is fourteen years old and all I’d ever used was a damp cloth. In any case I cleaned and polished the guitar according to your instructions and as we say here in the deep south, “ Yeah Buddy!” This guitar looks and feels amazing and it may be just me but I think it even sounds better. I’m adding your product to my short list of stuff that actually does what it’s supposed to do. At the risk of repeating myself, “Yeah Buddy!”

  • "Unbelievable stuff, Virtuoso Polish & Cleaner. I have been looking for a guitar cleaning system for thirty years now and finally found it. I told the guy that recommended it behind the counter not to let any one out of here with out buying some. Everything  else I used to use, in the trash! This stuff is really great. Thank you for making such a great product!"

  • "Utterly speechless! I've played guitar/violin/mandolin for around 18 years and have strived to keep my instruments in nice (yet honest) condition. I like age. Age is good, but, dirt and grime and generaly filthiness is BAD!!! I called you after "happening" by your page in a yahoo search and decided this just MIGHT be the thing to take about 50 years of rough play crud off of a '39 Gibson J-35 that i lucked into. Wow is all I can really say, it did take off AT LEAST 40 years in Sweat discoloration (that black'ish haze that tends to build up and stay on even when you clean it)! Other than that i can only claim speechless-ness. Just wow. THANK YOU again for taking the time to discuss the use of it, whether or not you thought it would do the trick, and just being so generally helpful overall (not just in your product, but your opinions on how I could best use it as well). I'm still stunned, but very... VERY happy.

  • "I just wanted to drop you a line and add my comments about your fine products. I recently purchased a 1967 Hagstrom Viking from Folkway Music in Guelph, Ontario Canada. At the same time I purchased Virtuoso Cleaner and Polish because I have been reading about it on web sites and in Vintage Guitar Magazine for several years. Time to try it, right? Well; the cleaning and polishing system made my Hagstrom gleam like it just left the factory in Sweden. Today, I gave my 1972 Gibson ES-325 a good going over with the products. What a beautiful job it did on the walnut finish. The gibby has never looked better. I took my time and used clean soft clothes and Q-tips and it took more than an hour to complete the Gibson; but the results are just stunning! Thanks Virtuoso."

  • I can't believe it. My cleaner and polish arrived yesterday. I ran down into my basement right after dinner and started working on my Les Paul. 20 minutes later I had a like new finish on my guitar!!!! Oh my God, what a shine! The guitar was apparently lightly soiled all over, taking the sheen away from the finish. It looks like the guitar was stripped and resprayed to new condition. Everyone out there with a Gibson needs to throw out the Gibson, Dupont, Martin and every other wax and cleaner product they have because they are inferior! I have used everything at least once. This is the bomb!"

  • "Dear Virtuoso - I just wanted to tell you how happy I am with the performance of your Cleaner and Polish. About 10 years ago during a  semi-drunken jam session with some buddies, I banged my beloved Gibson acoustic against a painted deck chair leaving two rather unsightly white paint scrapes on the back. I've tried everything (within reason, of course - Naptha, other cleaners/polishes, car wax) to remove them over the years and resigned myself to the thought that the damage was permanent. I bought your Cleaner and Polish on a whim and hoped it might lessen the appearance of the paint marks. I applied the Cleaner according to your directions and in about 10 seconds the paint marks completely disappeared. My jaw dropped - this was oil-based exterior house paint, tough stuff. The $10 invested in your Cleaner added back at least $50-$100 of value to that guitar. It more than paid for itself in one use...   The Polish added back a nice sheen, and made the sticky neck glide like new. Plays like a dream now! Thanks again - I'll certainly be buying more when the times comes!"

  • Thank you, thank you, thank you! I ordered and received both the Virtuoso Premium Cleaner & Premium Polish very promptly down here in Australia, and could hardly wait to get to work on my treasured Les Paul's, and their two other workmates; a 2005 Fender Telecaster 1962 Reissue & 1991 Takamine EN10 Acoustic. Please find four attached photos of my best friends after their cosmetic procedures. Primarily I have a 1991 Gibson Les Paul Custom '57 Black Beauty Reissue that's naturally seen plenty of mileage over the years, despite always keeping her as well-maintained as possible, and a 1994 Gibson Les Paul Standard Gibson 50th Anniversary Rare Candy Apple Red model. I was astounded with the stunning difference of just first using the Cleaner, as it alone deducted 10 years of 'age' by itself on both LP's. I also used a very small amount on their ebony fretboards to test, and again was thrilled how quickly and thoroughly clean they became compared to the now 'blackened' cloth I was using. The Cleaner's overall results alone were already light years better than anything I'd used before, so the anticipated Premium Polish was next. Sweating up a storm with a labour of love, I hand polished according to the bottle's instructions and when finished literally sat there with my jaw dropped in amazement at these already lovely Les Paul's that turned 'mirror sheen new' within 20 minutes. Unless looking extremely closely, nearly all lines and normal ageing disappeared to a high gloss shine, restoring the Black Beauty's black and the Candy Apple Red's red to their full glory again. I was giggling like a schoolgirl and completely dumbstruck because the results of using your Premium Cleaner & Polish are nothing short of miraculous in my opinion. Give these people a medal! Count me in amongst an ever growing longer line of loyal Virtuoso Premium Cleaner & Virtuoso Premium Polish users for life. You are without a doubt the very best and everyone should know!
