Slick

The lubricant is in a sponge applicator, it is not gooey or waxy like other similar products. You can see what a good job it does at cleaning when you see the gray streaks left in the white sponge after wiping it even over strings that have just been changed. Leaves strings very slick for a much improved playing feel. Best to keep the applicator capped and locked inside its tin so it won't dry out. It can be hard to tell when the sponge is used up, but if you no longer feel the difference when you use it, it may be time to open a new tin.

Wouldn't buy again

Doesn't last very long. And the tin was all open in the box. It only kinda works as a string cleaner but as far as a lubricant only lasts maybe 30 seconds

    This stuff works like a dream. After just one use I could feel the difference with my strings, my fingers could just glide down the fret board with no drag what so ever. This product is a must buy for any guitarist.
