does yours ? as in, have you cleaned it, or is it just immediately after playing ?
I never play i long sleeves, so its a permanent thing with me
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
I opened the lid to be greeted by a dirty black stain where my forearm had been.
I got it off but it took hours.

I used naphtha and Virtuoso Cleaner. It came off but it's a LOT of work.
Just natural relicing in my book.. people actually pay to fake it!
Seriously though, it was a big nuisance when I was more into classical and re-French polishing was never perfect. Not an unusual problem for other players either. Also, never keen on wearing a piece of stockinette over my right arm in the summer as per advice. Looks naff. In winter not so bad as could wear long sleeves.
Never had the same prob with any other finish.
Instead I would use some form of natural fibre damp cloth followed by toilet tissue after each session. But I am a GAS motivated anus, so feel free to disagree.
