Accessories XLR8 String Lubricant/Cleaner

This is a great product. It cleans and lubricated in one. The size is perfect to throw in your bag and its so easy to use.

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.

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.

My fingers eat strings, literally. If I had the money I’d change them all weekly for how quickly they corrode. This stuff really does work as advertised. Works great on both electric or acoustic strings for not on conditioning, but smooth the playing is. Wish I woulda found it sooner!

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.

I don't know how long the chemical on the applicator lasts. After awhile when I guessed that the chemical in the applicator was depleted, I saved the applicator and the plastic container. I use "Finger Ease" spray string lubricant, which I like better than this product. I will spray the Finger Ease string lubricant onto this applicator and then apply it directly to the guitar strings in order to lubricate them but avoid getting string lubricant spray all over my guitars.

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

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

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.

Cela fait plusieurs semaines que j'utilise ce produit et je suis entièrement satisfait. Je n'ai pas changé aucune corde de ma guitare depuis que j'ai acheté ce produit, alors que normalement j'en aurais changé déjà quelques unes, tellement mes cordes s'usaient rapidement avant. Le produit est encore efficace et s'étend très bien, il y en a toujours suffisamment dans l'éponge. Je joue de la guitare au moins 2 heures par jour et j'en mets avant et après avoir joué. Bravo, je crois que cela vaut le coût, j'ai déjà sauvé un set de cordes neuves, c'est certain!

Aún o lo uso pero supongo servirá muy bien

Bom produto. Um pouco caro, ao meu ver.

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.
