It's okay if you got a little ammount applied while cleaning your strings. But it's not good for fretboard. Go for lemon oil for that. You'll find it from Dunlop or Planet Waves too. **Q: Can it be used on violin strings?** A: To be used in Metal strings **Q: Is it good for removing rust?** A: I have used it only twice.... it does remove a Layer of Rust ... You can see the stains on the Foam **Q: It can use for rosewood fret board?** A: It is useful for string cleaning not for fretboard cleaning. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Product for All Steel String Guitars *by R***N on 25 November 2021* very smooth and works great have been using it for more than 5+ years and no other product comes close to the durability , life & quick clean & makes the strings even if its mildly rusted smoother though its not recommended to use it at times when ur in a Highly Humid place you never know the strings rust in sooner but thanks to the product extended the lifetime of using a pair of strings 1+ month than usual ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ very Usefull *by S***A on 30 May 2024* This definitely helped us from changing our guitar strings frequently.
