Hi folks, Happy Labor Day! I'll be getting a new Collings varnish MF5 mandolin this week and was wondering how to properly clean/polish this type of finish. Anyone have experience with maintaining a varnish finish instrument? Could you polish it with any of the products designed for lacquer finish instruments? I currently use the Ken Smith polish (that Taylor uses) on my lacquer finish instruments. I have not contacted Collings with this question yet. God bless, "louisiana" |

Hey there louisiana. I'm on my second varnish mandolin. In both cases, the makers both verbally and in writing, strongly suggested (as does Collings for their instruments), using a damp cloth moistened w/ water.i've had my latest mando about a month now and havent't dared do more than breathe on it and wipe it with a soft cloth. Good luck with your MF5V!
Regards Doc |
