Dunlop Formula 65 Fretboard Kit

Ok, I used it on two guitars clearly filthy because of years of carelessness...

I was wondering if it would work and... I totally love the result

I also used other products Dunlop 65 (+ new strings) and my guitars are as new ones

To me it's a great product, I'll recommand it

I had no problem of sticky feeling on the fretboard (I saw that on comments, don't use the condtioner too much and use the cloth to remove the excess oil at the end)

5 stars for cleaning efficiency
4 stars for protection (it's the first day I used it, don't know for a longer period)
5 stars total because it's a good purchase to take care of your instruments anyway

Well thanks for reading

First of all I got to say that I have the Dunlop Formula 65 Fretboard Kit for 2 years now and I don't regret it. After the first time cleaning the neck of my guitar that wasn't cleaned for about 6 years or so it felt like heaven.

+ Like the Polish Kit, the two bottles lasts for a long time, I clean the fretboards of about 8 guitars for 2 years now, each time I restring them and they are still not empty
+ The Oil revitalizes your Fretboard wood. The fretboard wood on one of my guitars was really dry and the color was light. Needless to say, it wore off pretty fast before.

- Better not use it on maple necks. They may become dark (experienced it myself, didn't read all the instructions ;) )

PS: When the fingerboard of your guitar is really messy, I recommend using some AAA steal wool to clean the fretboard and and the frets.
But put tape on your PUs, just to make sure no metal dust becomes stuck on the pole pieces.

It is basically all-in-one pack that enables the user to polish the frets if they have oxidation, clean the fretboard and condition it for a long life.

Most people underestimate the care they need to bring to their fretboard and frets, as these parts of the guitar are not covered in finish lacquer (meaning, not so protected against external conditions).

This will play a big part in prolonging the overall life of your guitar.

Pros:
- Very easy to use
- Includes a cleaning cloth but also includes a fret polishing one.
- Two separate bottles for each product, with a very easy to understand description
- One or two steps above using only lemon oil

Cons:
- Maybe the fact that the amount of product needed for each use not being the same. Since the bottles are the same size, it's safe to say that one will run out faster.
Still, just a remark, not enough reason to decrease the rating.
