I like the feel of the fretboard and the strings after they have been cleaned with FastFret, and there is no question that a vigorous application of Fast Fret will revivify strings which have gone dead, (albeit the revitalization doesn't last for more than a few tunes.)

When the applicator runs dry I just spray it with WD40, which seems to achieve the same effect.

I have friends who swear by Fast Fret or similar products, but personally, I've never been convinced they are better than just wiping down your strings before putting the guitar back in its case, which is what I do.

What's the general opinion on products like Fast Fret and String Glide ?

I used Fast Fret on both mandolin and banjo, when it ran dry I couldn't be bothered with another and honestly can't say that it made any difference to the life of my stings or smoother playing.
