Hi Jimbo ...

I used to use different string sprays ... never really seemed to enhance anything.

I'm fortunate in that my body chemistry is kind to strings--they stay shiny and smooth for ever--but I know many players who turn strings black just by playing a couple of licks. I know, because they sometimes do it to my guitars! There was one guy in particular, years ago. Came to a gig, went to each of my guitars in a break, played a little lick on each and that was it for all three guitars. Dull, black, pitted, corroded strings wherever his fingers had been. I don't know what he was eating, but he was toxic alright.
