I only know that I play better when using it
EDIT:
Used it for about 2 months, about 1 or twice a week. Then it dried up. Disappointed, as I have read a lot of reviews that stated that you have enough oil in there to last you for much more. Did not buy another one, switched to the blue competitor's product and I found it to last longer with similar effects.
I have no idea about how good/efficient this thing cleans or if it actually protects the strings and the fretboard. This can only be appreciated by close systematic observation for the duration of maybe on year or more, and compare it to a control group that doesn't use it. I am just a guy who likes to shred from time to time, so...yeah. But I know that whenever I use this on the strings and the fingerboard, it lubricates them and the playing is much faster and easier. But the tone gets affected, it cuts some of the highs. Overall I will buy more.

New product comes with plastic case
New product doesnt ship on a metal case as was few years ago. They now ship inside a plastic casing. How it will hold up, time will tell.

Okay
It was okay, for me personally i didnt like they way the strings felt and smelled on my hands. But the strings stayed nice and clear so i’ll give them that, the strings had a smooth feel across them, but as i said not really for me so you’ll be the judge of that

Good stuff, but it dries itself rather fast
It does a great job, and definitely will buy again, but the product itself, as the applier, dries itself rather fast (Even if kept properly and in a good condition).
I would most likely buy again though as the result of using it is very good.

Meh, it's ok
I've bought this product twice, after the first one unexpectedly dried out. They changed the packaging from a cute metal tin to a cheap plastic one, which is disappointing. The product works reasonably well but there are other alternatives which probably don't generate as much waste.

Good for getting the grime off
I used this product for quite a while. I seem to have very corrosive sweat and my strings were in quite a state after each gig. Fast fret is good for cleaning the grime off and getting a bit of lubrication on the strings to aid sliding the fingers up and down on them. Do not use this product on coated strings(Elixir, D'addario EXP etc). I started using Elixir strings and cleaned them with fast fret after each gig, but it takes all the coating off the string and they will start to corrode like normal uncoated stings. For normal uncoated strings to get them clean and lubricated, this is the best string cleaner I have come across.

Not so fast
It tends to dry out and overall is a bit too oily.

Doesn't seem the same as I remember...
I picked up a tin of Fast Fret on a whim after not using it for years, and I must admit I am a little disappointed. Yes, it does make your strings more slinky and putting some on just before starting a gig can be helpful. However, even though there is a plastic cap on the end of the applicator (which can be pretty fiddly on a dark stage) I found that it dried out pretty quickly to the point where I couldn't tell if I was applying any after a few weeks.
I don't feel that it is a good cleaner of strings, nor that it protects the strings at all. For that, I find that the products from Kyser work the best. For these reasons, I won't be buying another tin, but I have friends who cannot play without it!

Overpriced but sometimes necessary
10 euro for mere milliliters of pleasant smelling mineral oil. Undoubtedly one of the biggest scams in the guitar/audio world but it does the job sometimes if the mixture of viscosity of the oil is correct. Buy it once, see if you like it, use sparingly.
