Richard, In the spirit of keeping things clean... Actually, I think it may be the carrier in something like Endust that causes the problem, probably not the product itself. I knew a technician (years ago) who would spend hours carefully cleaning and polishing strings (bass and treble) - and then just as carefully wipe them down with a rag moistened with lemon oil polish... Installed several sets of strings later, too... Best.
