FAST-FRET

FAST-FRET
The ORIGINAL string cleaner! Not a spray! Contains no silicone. Apply to your strings and fingerboard to remove built up dirt and grime. Fast Fret keeps the strings sounding bright and new, extending the healthy lifetime of any strings.
What did you do to the formula? The current version is unusable. I noticed you cut costs with the packaging and the handle. That's annoying enough, but the current version of the formula is just awful. It's now much too runny. After I apply it to the strings and wipe off the excess, it all gravitates to the bottom of the neck. After a minute or two my fret hand is covered in the stuff and it feels like it's covered in grease. I'm getting a refund from Amazon and switching to a competitor.
Hi Neal, costs weren't cut as much as suppliers went out of business and we were forced to change direction immediately. Personally, I like the newer handle as I get a better grip on it. Plus, less plastic means less to throw away.
In regard to it being "too runny," that's due to moving to a heavy felt applicator over the former cotton one. The felt is able to absorb more fluid (which is the exact same) than the cotton, which is a benefit to many that have complained that it goes dry too quickly. We had to change the applicator as cotton became immediately unavailable due to making PPP for the past two years.
I will pass along your feedback to our development team and see if there's something we can address.
Hi Jonathan. Just last week and got replacement yesterday from https://www.mightyape.co.nz/. I'm not talking about empty can, everything was inside, even the smell, just the liquid is missing.
What year did Fast Fret come out? I seem to remember using it back in the '70s.
