Perfect for cleaning and slickness, lasted 1.5 months
It was the first time using such a product. It was absolutely excellent in cleaning both old and new strings.
I used it almost daily after playing (usually a couple of hours/day) and it kept the strings very clean and shiny as long as I used it. The shape and size is ideal, one or two swipes to apply on the strings and it is very practical to carry in a gigbag (flat and wide). It provides a nice slickness to the strings, just be careful not to overdo it. Mine lasted about 40 days, I wish it would last longer. To be fair, I think I used too much of it during each application for the first couple of weeks and perhaps it wasn't necessary to apply so often.
In a nutshell, it is perfect except maybe for the duration. I tried in parallel with the d'Andrea string cleaner, which cleans well but gave me a "sticky" feel to the fingers. I even tried to refill the Speed Slick with the d'Andrea cleaner so I could take advantage of the convenient packaging and applicator but that resulted in leaking. Next I will try the classic GHS fast fret and if necessary I will update this review.

Good but leaves bits of fluff on the neck
This string cleaner provides great protection from my strings, which is great for me as my hands get fairly sweaty when playing which eats through my strings like nobodies business requiring my to restring more often than I can really afford to. My strings feel smooth, fresh and alive after I use this to wipe away any grime from them, however my only real issue with it is occasionally the small cloth that comes with the cleaner can leave little bits of fluff/cotton caught on the strings, particularly in the lower frets where the string is tighter to the fretboard. This isn't a major problem though as the residual bits can be easily removed and don't have any negative effect on the strings.

Does the job
This is the first string cleaner I've purchased so I can't really compare it to any other brands out there, however it does what it's meant to do so I have no complaints.

Good product
It does what is made for. The cloth inside is small but long enough to use it for wiping the strings. I believe a different casing would have been better

So far so good
Just started using the product - but seems to do what it says it will.

Quick clean
I used it in combination with other product to clean and lubricate strings quickly. It would be better if it lasted longer.
I'm still using it with other liquid cleaner, moist it with few drops, because of wide cleaning pad for easy and quick cleaning of six strings in one move.

You should try this one!
Much less messier than Fast Fret to apply and to store, to the same exact same end. It will worth your while to try!

Works as it should.
Just as good as GHS Fastfret, but smells more "motoroil". Feels the same as GHS when using it. Makes my strings live loooooonger and perfect if you have sveaty hands.

Nice product.
It does the job. After applying it over my guitar, I can see immediate results. Will be using it in the future.
Although sometimes it feels like I cannot extract the moisture, I press the surface with my pick and it is totally alright.
