HI Rick,
 
Well, I've been using mclube444 on the front duplex side of bass strings and I find I get an improvement in clarity. I would not dare to use it on the winding though. It can also help on the treble front duplex to clear some nastiness that heavy used instruments get. As for use on bridges, I haven't gotten that far out yet ;-)
