Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Ultraglide 65 String Cleaner And Conditioner.

Features and functionality

  • The Ultraglide 65 contains ethyl alcohol and Polydimethylsiloxane, which clean and lubricate strings, akin to waxing a car to repel dirt.

    Source

Comparisons

  • Some users prefer Fast Fret or Finger Ease as alternatives, noting similar lubrication benefits but potentially differing in ease of use or feel.

    Source
  • Users note Dunlop strings feel stiffer and scratchier compared to Elixirs, affecting playability and bending ease, despite their full sound.

    Source

User experience

  • Despite the lubrication benefit, some users find it does not extend string life or improve tone, leading them to revert to coated strings like Elixirs.

    Source
  • Some users apply the Dunlop 65 liberally to achieve a slick feel similar to Fast Fret, noting it helps strings feel fresh during long gigs and rehearsal sessions.

    Source
  • Despite concerns, long-term users report no damage to Elixir string coatings with regular Dunlop 65 use, maintaining brightness for months even with frequent play.

    Source
  • One user with acidic sweat found Dunlop 65 effective in preserving string playability and tone over five months, though it doesn't prevent tuning issues from string stretching.

    Source
  • Even after extensive use, Dunlop 65 reportedly keeps strings feeling fresh and crisp, aiding in cutting through a busy live mix, though some observed tone changes over time.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • Regular application is part of some users' maintenance rituals to keep strings clean and feeling smooth, though effectiveness in prolonging string life is debated.
