:idea: :arrow: Yet another of my on going efforts to give you the very best value for your edutainment dollar, today's subject is DeoxIT Axe Wipes, because everyone needs to wipe their axe.

DeoxIT Axe Wipes are actually string cleaners that are about the size of a .45 caliber bore cleaning patch, that have been saturated with 100% DeoxIT. $15 + shipping. http://store.caig.com/s.nl/sc.2/category.275/.f

But Wait, There's More!

CAIG Laboratories also has a line of products under the name of Goby Labs. They also have 'Metal String Wipes' that are (you guessed it!) 100% DeoxIT. $8 + shipping from Sam Ash https://www.samash.com/testers-cleaners/metal-string-wipes--30-count-glw130xxx-p?ddkey=https:Logon&krypto=/5fFqmMoxj/BKxoWeJDoqvyr1Ul2UWwv+xpzpwc7Kmndb9K7jqGy0g==

And not only that there is also a product going under the name of 'Bass Brites' that is the exact same 100% DeoxIT. http://www.bassbrites.com/

But does it work :?:

In a word, YES! I always clean my new strings with 91% isopropyl alcohol before installation. Roundwound bass strings are quite expensive, so anything that helps them keep their tone and last longer is a good thing. After the set has been played in for a week. I used the Goby Labs wipes on a weekly basis. I'd say I got an extra two weeks play out of them before they had to be changed. With many rounds once the E starts to go downhill the tone will start to get very nasal. The string wipes eliminated that bit of unmusical nastiness. Whatever is in DeoxIT's secret sauce, it does good. Not oily to the touch at all, yet aids in playability while reducing string screech. Also works well on flatwounds. 8)

I thought of another good use for the DeoxIT wipes. I used them to wipe down the male plugs of my instrument and speaker cables, and then ran them in and out of all the female jacks on my amps and basses. Preventative maintenance.

If you have a spray can of DeoxIT D5, just spray on the cloth of your choice and do the same thing and wipe down your strings too.

CAIG Labs also sells bottles of DeoxIT liquid, so you have a lot of choices available with a world famous product that works.

I spray DeoxIT on my kids breakfast cereal to keep their bathroom trips regular. Spray it a few times into the air and then breathe deeply to cure writer's block! Can also be used to keep cats off the kitchen counters. This fantastic substance works on everything! :mrgreen:
