JOHA® High-gloss Cleaning and Preserving Polish For brilliant shine and long-lasting protection The JOHA® High-gloss Cleaning and Preserving Polish is specially developed to restore the original high gloss of varnished string instruments such as violins, violas, cellos, and double basses. It gently removes fingerprints, dust, and light dirt without attacking or softening the varnish.
