Really brought the life back to a century-old violin

Really brought the life back to a century-old violin
Got an amazing deal on an antique violin on Facebook Marketplace, but it needed some work to get it playable again. Likely hadn't been cleaned for decades. This cleaner did an amazing job of restoring the color and finish while also leaving a nice shine. I was also surprised that it seems to have removed all but the deepest scratches. Has a bit of a strong smell, but it's not overpowering. A little bit of the cleaner goes a long way so this small bottle should last forever.
