Review: It works well so far - This actually works to increase glide on the strings & to protect them. Time will tell if I need to change stings less frequently. Easy to apply & compact portable design so it's easy to throw in a case.
Review: Worthy of review - Why did you pick this product vs others?: So often in the guitar world you here, read or watch something dubbed "game changer." I personally don't often write reviews but on this product I think it worthy. It has improved my string sound, my playing ability and my callous maintenance. My expectations were that it would kinda help but it really is a game changer for me. Thanks for a very fine product. Used on three guitars and play on average 3 hours a day. One can of this treatment lasted 2 months.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is xlr8 safe for classical strings? i've heard that some string cleaners will dissolve the nylon.**
A: it is mineral oil with fragrance.  I am not sure if there is any solvent in it or not. I wouldn't use any oil on nylon.  it would at the very least soften them and keep them from being in tune.

**Q: Does this work for Bass strings?**
A: Yes. I’ve been using this for several years to clean my bass strings. Works well and extends the life of the strings.

**Q: Can i use to clean violin strings?**
A: Do not use this on violin strings.

**Q: while this product cleans and lubricate the strings as it will normally do, will it be good for the maple fretboard as well? thanks!**
A: Planet Waves XLR8 String Lubricant is very difficult to use in that it is hard to apply to all facets of the strings and it dries out too quickly. I would try something else.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth it for the comfort it gives you
*by C***E on July 4, 2025*

Stuff works great, just need a cloth to wipe down but they lube the strings and neck and also bring the strings back to lufe a little bit. Only bad thing is that the sponge thing dries out after about 6 uses but its definitely worth it especially if your a gigging guitarist making money.
