String Cleaners

[bizkit666]

Ok, i know this topic has been disscused but i cant find so im jus gunna start a new 1.

Ok so i started if wiping them with a normal cloth, with a tiny bit of nail varnish remover, but i got told it was bad for the strings, so then i jus moved onto using just a cloth, works ok, but jus builds and builds, and its kinda anoyyin when ur having to clean strings every 2secs, there is afew things ive heard of....spray etc, so wich/what is the best thing/one for cleaning and keeping strings in nice condition.


Thanks

Black Diamond strings. These are black coated strings. Last for months (because even the unwound strings are coated, unlike Elixir, which I like) and never need cleaned. There's no gunk that builds up on them, at least not in any noticable way.

If you love your strings though, there are 2 products that I have used and work pretty good.
1. GHS Fast Fret
2. DR Extra Stringlife - Liquid Polymer Coating

Both of these will allow you to get a little extra life out of your strings, although Elixirs last a LONG time (apart from the unwound treble strings) and Black Diamond's last even longer (as I said, even the treble strings.)
