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.
My GHS dried up in less than a year, gonna have to try the Dunlop!
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.
thanks for this! one questin i have is, it claims it makes the strings last longer, do you feel this is true?
Hi ! My hands are sweating a lot when i play guitar. So the strings are rusty quickly : after 1 month or so they are completely dead, rusty. They are then eating the frets !
Now after each playing session, i clean the strings with the dunlop product. I can see that the product is removing some rust / dark and brown dust from the strings. The strings are also a little bit with oil.
After cleaning, they are not like new. They are still getting dark but not rusty.
To me, they are now playable for 2 to 3 months. So yes for me this product is a way to have the string 2x to 3x longer.
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 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.
Sorry I don't know.
My fretboard is varnish maple so I don't have this problem.
@@GuitarMusicCapsule okay, thank you
ive used fast fret for years, it used to be in a metal can not plastic like nowadays, not to mention price increase
What about the feel? Is it just the same?
Both are good.
@@GuitarMusicCapsule thank you. I'll go for Dunlop then
I found fast fret dried out very quickly
Thanks for your feedback.
My Dunlop 65 bottle lasted 1 year. Daily use, sometimes 2x per day.
I hope you wipe the wet strings with a microfiber!
Than it also last longer strings and both products
Yes this is the basics.
But 65 can't be used on maple fretboard...
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.
Dunlop propaganda!
