I purchased this product about a month ago and thought I would offer some feedback.
For many years, I have used Zymol car cleaner wax on my guitars and basses.
I decided to take the plunge (truly...this stuff is $24/four ounces...1/8th the price of an NOS Telefunken ECC83!) and try their GBC# musical instrument polish. When I received and opened the bottle I was disappointed, it appeared to look and smell (blue and coconut) like what I have been using all along. I stored it away.
Playing the 'Snowglo', the 'regular Zymol' application would last a couple of hours before 'neck drag' would start to become noticeable. And, I average about 6 hrs a week playing it.
My hands are quite dry and never sweaty/corrosive.
I decided to try the Zymol GBC# on the neck, and instantly noticed the viscosity is much lower...like water ...while placing it in a cloth. The ingredients do not mention silicone and claim/read to be all natural, etc.
Anyway, this stuff is still going strong after 2 weeks, and the back of the neck is still slick. I'm quite impressed with the product. It somewhat reminds me of the Ken Smith polish in viscosity and feel. But, it lasts much longer. At least for me.
I went ahead and used it on the entire bass last weekend. A small amount goes a long way, unlike the Zymol car wax.
What I initially thought was disappointment turned out to be a pleasant surprise. YMMV
