Good but just a few cycles.
Product is good, smells great, lubricates - perfectly, but after a few uses it went dry.

ideal for quick care
I initially bought this from Thoman on recommendation of a regularly gigging guitarist. He told me that he got longer wear out of his strings by giving them a quick wipe down after each gig using GHS Fast Fret. I don't gig as often but I must confess that when i use this after gigs my guitar feels much nicer to play next time i come to it. I used to get an experience where the strings would feel as though they had a build up of residue on them and the fret board wouldn't feel as smooth. Since i've been using Fast Fret that feeling has pretty much gone away.
It's easy to use, comes with everything you need for a quick clean up and ergonomically it fits easily into your hand. The main pad on the end of the applicator has a lemon oil type substance (might be lemon oil! i've not really read the ingredients but it smels "lemony"!) which apparently maintains the guitar's fretboard and reuces the risk of damage due to the fret board drying out.
I would recommend it wholeheartedly for this particular kind of use. However, if you love your guitar and want the whole "treat it to a spa day" equivalent you will be looking for some alternatives such as type specific oils and cleaning products for your guitar (which i've also bought from Thoman)
Depending on how often you use it will determine how long it lasts. I think it's good value for money though and it has become a regular purchase for me, as one runs out of use i replace it with another, it's just such a handy and convenient item to pop into your gig bag and once you are in the routine of using it you wonder how you ever got by without it.i

great cleaner, poor package
the cleaner cleans well, but i was satisfied with the previous package -- metal case and inside the plastic tool i could put small screw drivers bits, for my guitar. now, with the new version of this product, i cannot do it anymore...

Game changer.
If you have never played with any kind of lubricant on your instrument this will change the world for you. After using this for a couple of months I started to just use a cloth with some vegetable oil because it lasts longer which is better when you are playing gigs. Another trick I learned from my lead guitarist is to use talc powder on your palm so it slides better on the neck. With these two life hacks playing is much more enjoyable, again, especially for long gigs.

Feels cheaper and shorter lasting
It’s a quality product, a bit of a go-to but the redesign feels a lot less ‘quality’ and it seems to dry out quicker.

A bit of a question mark
I'm rather new to guitar & definitely new to using this kind of product. I bought it due to favorable reviews & coz I don't like the feel of "worn out/rusty " strings, so I'm testing it but would have appreciated some explanations about when to use it, how much product to apply, how to clean it in case of excessive use (is there any risk to damage any part of the guitar and so on)

Nice product around a long time
Handy for refreshing your strings before or after you using the guitar. Its a product that I was not sure if it was meant to lubricate your strings so the guitar feels slicker to play or was it supposed to clean the sweat off them so they don't go rusty. It apparently does both plus it claims to do even more like refresh your fingerboard. I do know it does not do any harm to anything and does make the strings feel slicker and cleaner.
Nowadays the whole thing has been a bit better designed as well. With the plastic tube carrier as well as the replaceable applicator lid so it does not dry out, it also comes with a little cloth that I have no doubt I will lose as its a bit awkward to wrap it around the thing before putting it back in its tube. It also came with a sealable bag for the whole thing further helping to stop it dry out and handy to throw in your gigging bag or keep at home. Its one of them products that you don't really need but its a bit of a treat to have so why not one will or should last you a year or 2.

Just a normal string lubricant
I wouldn't call it a good cleaning product, but it does help against extra string friction while playing. Comes with a little rag to wipe off any extra lube from a guitar neck. Mine came in a damaged package, I guess it got slammed by a guitar in the parcel, but it didn't affect its functions.

Probably working
Bought it on a whim. When used, the strings feel and sound indeed somewhat fresher. But I'm probably not consequent enough in its application to really be able to state whether that is only something happening in my head or also noticeable for real.
