Description

D’Addario XLR8 String Lubricant & Cleaner is a pocket friendly way to refresh and smooth your strings in seconds. Designed for electric, acoustic and bass guitar players who want a fast, noise free feel, it cleans away sweat and grime while leaving a silky glide that makes fretting and sliding easier. Whether you are a beginner tackling chord changes or a seasoned performer looking for effortless position shifts, XLR8 helps you play with confidence and consistency, session after session. The compact tin slips into any gig bag, so it is always ready before practice, rehearsal or a show.

Housed in a sturdy storage tin, the reusable applicator pad delivers an even, controlled application with no mess and no overspray. A quick wipe from bridge to nut removes residue and conditions the string surface, reducing finger squeak and giving a smooth, quick feel across all registers. Compared with basic cloth only cleaning or entry level sprays, XLR8 is tidier, more precise and more economical, helping you look after your strings properly while keeping setup time short.

XLR8 is a smart addition to any UK tuition setting. It keeps student instruments feeling comfortable, which can make early progress feel easier and more rewarding, and it helps reduce distracting string noise in lessons, ensemble work and recordings. Teachers will appreciate how quickly it works between pupils, and schools will value the way regular care can support longer string life and fewer emergency changes. For home practice, it is an effortless last step that makes daily playing feel smoother and more inviting, delivering great value for players at every level.

Features

Fast, smooth playability

A single wipe along the strings leaves a clean, slick surface that reduces friction for easier fretting, faster slides and more confident position shifts, all with a natural, dry feel under the fingers.

Cleans as it conditions

The formula lifts sweat and grime from the string windings while conditioning the surface, helping to reduce finger noise and support longer lasting tone between full string changes.

Easy, mess free applicator

The built in pad gives controlled coverage with no drips and no overspray. Simply run it from bridge to nut, then pop it back in the durable storage tin for next time.

Safe for coated and uncoated strings

Suitable for electric, acoustic and bass guitars, the treatment works equally well on coated and uncoated sets and is appropriate for most instruments when used as directed.
