    The String Cleaner doesn't get the attention it deserves...

    The String Cleaner is Fantastic. You should see the nasty stuff that clings to the strings... the wipes remove the grime, and the formula helps protect the core wire -- this helps maintain the string's integrity. and prolongs the string's life!

    Also, clean strings sound WAAAY better than dirty strings! Plus, they are easier to play when they are clean. Clean strings don't talk as much, when you move your fingers up and down the neck, as dirty strings do! Nothing is worse that working your way through some great noodling only to have the sound interupted by a nasty "SCREEEEECCCCHHH". Terrible

    Wonder Wipe 'em down. You'll be glad you did.

I picked up some similar wipes from Deoxit, they work well too. Which one's better? Hard to say. The Deoxit wipes seem to get more "stuff" off the strings, but I betcha the Wonder Wipes are gentler on the guitar's finish (don't know for sure).

    I haven't tried the Wonder Wipes for the neck or the body, but someone mentioned that it does "wonders" for a nitro finish, then I'm completely interested, and I will definitely be trying them too.

    I'd also like to try the wipes if they work well to clean rosewood fretboards. I don't like using steel wool.

    They work excellently on rosewood fingerboards, i tried them on 12 years of finger poo on one of my guitars and it came up really well, previous to that i was using bank cards to scrape them but it didnt do as much good, plus i like seeing how much crap is left on the wipe afterwards !

    However, my wipes seem a little dried out, unless that's how they're supposed to be. Are they supposed to be really wet or just a little wet?

    Which wipes, must remember to clarify what you are using 3 types, polish and string cleaner are dry to the touch while fret board is very moist and oily feeling, ie. fret board conditioner, they work kick azz damn it, better than any product I have come across, instrument polish, use after each session, guitar clean, string cleaner, wipe strings after each session, strings retain life and gung off, fret board, well i use it when I change strings on both types and the neck, cleans away the grime and I am happy

    I'm using the polish. How many wipes would it take to wipe down the whole guitar? Are they meant to just polish, or also clean the dirt off the wood?

    Wonder wipes

    The Wonder Wipes work great. I bought the fretboard cleaner a while back and am very happy with how well they work. I bought the string cleaner and instrument polish today from GC in Rancho Cucamonga and did a nice clean-up on the Axis when I got home; very good stuff.

    I just wish some of the places closer to work or home carried them.

    Word... My favourite wipes in order are the Fretboard Conditioner, then the String Cleaner, then the Guitar Polish...

    I got one suggestion. How about a good alcohol wipe for the user's HANDS after he's used the other 3???
