Fastfret vs Dunlop 65 string cleaners comparison : my preference

Both products are working well. They help a lot in lubricating the strings, cleaning and protecting against rust.
Fastfret is dry in about a month even if closing both lids. Then i will never buy it again.
Dunkop 65 will last much longer. Some people complain about liquid leaks on their guitar because they squeezed the bottle : don't be stupid and read the directions on the bottle. This is written in capital letters ! This is the product i now use daily.

ghs fastfret is mineral oil+perfume. so i just use johnsons baby oil, the pink one. it smells the same, works exactly as well as fastfret, protects and cleans strings the same way. i did the math, it's 1000x cheaper. yes, 1000 times cheaper. i don't need the applicator or the crappy little cloth. microfibre towels are reusable. i put baby oil in a little pump bottle, wrap the bottle in a rag and keep it in the case.

I'll be giving this a try. Sick of paying for the stupid applicator every time I buy the GHS stuff

@@steveo44 you can add a few drops of your favourite essential oil. i use orange oil. 1 drop for 5ml. i have sometimes also dropped mineral oil directly on the ghs applicator. if i take a gig bag not a case, it's a nice package.

@@jpshanderson yeah dude. it cleans and protects the strings the same way. smells a tiny bit different and you don't get an applicator. but who cares, just use a microfiber cloth.

Keep the GHS applicator and place a few drops (at a time) of mineral oil on it. I have a bottle of Dr. Ducks that I use this way.

My first buy on Dunlop 65 lasted for 2 years. Since then I have never ever looked back to GHS fast fret. It's hardly 20 days for me

I've been using FastFret since my early days playing guitar. It really does makes your string last longer. But it dried-up 5-6 months. I'm interested to try Dunlop later on. With the bottle-type packaging design, I'm hoping that it last much longer than GHS FastFret.

Is the JM65 as slippery as the fast frets? Or is the JM65 just for cleaning and making the strings last longer?

Hi ! I use the Dunlop string cleaner to have long lasting strings after playing. So I can't answer.

They completely ruined fast fret over the past year or so. Changed from a tin to cheap plastic that breaks. The applicator is stuck on to the handle very badly and breaks off. Dries out. complete waste

You haven't been using it very long. They started with a metal tin. Then it was plastic for about 20 years. Then they went back to tin. Now plastic again. It was wood and completely different. There was no red. The lid was brown.

i have a question about the dunlop ultraglide. Is it hamful with the fretboard, everytime i use it, it also wet my fretboard. Some of my friends told me that the dunlop 65 also help to clean the fretboard but i've seen many youtube tutorial, all of them cleaning the oil which is on the fretboard by a cloth or tissue, but i don't want to clean like that because it can also clean the oil on the string. If the dunlop ultraglide does not harmful to the fretboard, i'll not wipe the oil out. Please help me answer this question, thank you all.

No, the Dunlop 65 Ultraglide String Conditionner that I am talking about is perfectly safe for maple fretboards (the bottle with blue label). You are mixing with the Dunlop 65 Fretboard Ultimate lemon oil (bottle with yellow sticker). Dunlop has even more products in this '65' line.

@@GuitarMusicCapsule I use dunlop 75 lemon oil for when I'm restringing on a maple Fretboard. Does it really damage it? And thanks for this video I'm going for the 65 ultra glide.

Hi ! Have a look at Jim Dunlop website : www.jimdunlop.com/formula-65-fretboard-ultimate-lemon-oil/ This is written, that product (yellow bottle of Fretboard Ultimate Lemon oil) is not for maple fret boards. I don't know this product so I can't tell you.

No string lube is made for ANY fretboard…you put it on your strings! You’re missing the direction of this product if you really think it’s not for just Maple!!? You’re not supposed to overuse or get it on your fretboard. The mineral oils and other fragrances in the recipe are safe on metals. Strings are made of metals. It’s NOT for wood at all..tested yes, not to do major damage to fretboards if accidentally touches them, but c’mon man..stop making comments that don’t apply within the Scienceof the product, this will just confuse people..and read your directions if needed before spreading your own thoughts…or at least share your details WHY you are making such a comment…learning guitar is an art and the experienced players need to send out good vibes and great learning leadership to make sure the noobs find their potential. Careful sending and sharing simple thoughts if you don’t have the facts to back it up.
