Small, compact, and works great!
Product is exactly as described. Used it for the first time today and it works great. Really cleaned the strings, which are brand new, and left them feeling smooth and shiny. Will definitely purchase again when needed.

good stuff, weird packaging
didn't know what to expect with this, but it seems like it works just fine.

Seems to work good, clearly negative reviewers do not know what they were buying
So, this stuff seems to keep strings fresh. I wipe down with applicator pad after playing. It adds some lube so fingers glide smoother thru changes and may slightly decrease string noise. It definitely seems to help condition my fingertips.....as they have been much smoother and less callouses since using this stuff. I feel like I am addicted to the string lube/cleaner. Note that the people complaining about empty containers and stuff must not realize how this stuff works. The container holds an premoistened applicator pad with a grip and cover. So you take the cover off of the applicator pad and use the applicator pad grip to hold on to while you rub the applicator pad on the strings. When you are done you put the cover on the applicator pad and then put the applicator pad with cover into the screw cap case to keep it from drying out. There is no additional lubricant in the case, as it is already on the pre lubed pad. For the money it seems like a worthwhile investment to me and works as it should.

Great cleaner/lubricant, easy to use, lasts forever.
Great lube, easy to use, lasts a LONG time (if you keep putting it back in the container and closing it tight).

Works well. Easily fits in your guitar case!
D'Addario is a really good and trusted brand and this string lubricant/cleaner works well. It is a small, plastic container with an applicator similar to what you might see in a shoe shine kit to polish your shoes (if anyone does that anymore :). Anyway, I like it because it makes the strings smoother and less squeaky on my acoustic guitar strings for chording and finger picking. This jar lasts only about a few months and I didn't realize at the time you can re-charge it with a small bit of mineral oil.

buyer beware
I recently bought this from amazon. Rave reviews on their and other websites. Product was dried out when received. Product is a small plastic jar with an applicator inside- obviously not airtight.... who knows how long it was sitting in a warehouse. Amazon refunded my money......but buyer beware.....

It's not GHS Fast Fret, but it will do
Bought this as it seemed impossible to get my hands on a (normally priced) can of GHS Fast Fret, which I've been using for 20 years. This D'Addario sponge system works pretty well, but it dries out fast (even when always putting the cap back on and without a lot of usage). It's not Fast Fret, but you could do worse.

Good string cleaner, essential for all guitar/bass players.
great string cleaner, does what it claims. I got a bass used bass and strings are not cheap for a 5 string, they seemed to be in good condition but lacked that new freshness. This cleaner in my opinion did the job I needed it to and saved me money so very happy. would buy again for sure.

Bu kadar fark edeceğini düşünmemiştim
Çalmayı acayip kolaylaştırdı, parmaklar telde akıyor resmen, 2 aylık telleri yeni gibi hissettirdi. Sadece süngere emili şekilde gelmesini beklemiyordum. Yani süngeri -ayakkabı boyası gibi- bişeye batırıp sürmüyorsunuz. Sıvı/kayganlaştırıcı süngere emili şekilde geliyor (askerdeki bot parlatıcılar gibi). Yapısı, çok seyreltilmiş yağ gibi, herhangi kokusu da neredeyse yok gibi. Ne kadar süre gideceğinden emin değilim ama çok memnun kaldım.
