I mean that after playing, I clean the strings then put fast fret, but the strings already rust the next day.

how much is the lemon oil then? Fast fret is just a wipe onto the strings. Which I tend to find quite irritating cos if your strings rust and you do not know it,the rust might smear onto the surface if you wipe the strings. IMO.

ahhh. I see,do you wipe the strings with the cloth first then apply FAST FRET or just apply FAST FRET. Cos I think I know what's the problem,I do encounter a similar problem too,so I just take a cloth and wipe the strings to remove the rust,to 'preserve' the strings longer. After that,apply fast fret. But very leceh la.

Yeah, i will always clean every edge and every ends. And once pulled the e string too hard and it snapped.
So I had to change the whole strings.

hmm how long did it last? the ernie ball wiipes? and how many containing in it btw?
hmm GHS fast fret is too oily and sometimes it makes sweeping(technique, not sweep the oil away) uncomfortable. and hmm ghs fast fret is like simply applying oil. for me i just use my trusty dry cloth.
anyway. ive saw davis selling somekind of stringcleaning device. any commen?
"wash your strings with water and let dry" is the best way

Believe it or not, I use guitar cleaners to clean my cheap D'Addario strings. Or 3M silver polish.
They don't seem to tarnish with this method...
