Double Bass Kolsteins Cleaner and Polish

Once and a while you find a great product. Kolsteins cleaning and polish systems works really well. Thought I'de share the find.

Caked rosin comes right off with Kolsteins cleaner. Must contain eucalyptus, you know the smell. It is very effective at removing rosin from bow, ebony, and any other material or finish used on the bass. Kolstein says its safe to use on the fingerboard too.

The polish puts a shine on the varnish that doesn't feel oily or greasy. It drys almost instantly and leaves a brilliant luster. Better than new!

If you like your instrument looking great, feeling clean and smooth, this system is very good. Safe for all instruments too, from what the literature states.

I know some of you are particular about keeping the bass clean and looking great. I am!

Happy with the purchase FWIW.
