I get that strings should "settle down" a bit, by normal use may take a day or two of use a couple of bends and stuff, but... they can be streched in other way besides a couple of days of natural use?. :confused:

And another question... cleaning products... In order to remove the natural grease and sweat I guess you may need some kind of solvent (maybe not thinner or nail polish remover of course) but perhaps something alcohol based in order to remove those oils eficently.

My point is... I have the idea that this products may "dry" your strings, making them easier to break. It's that only my perception? or this products are a usefull way to keep em sounding right and of course, lasting longer in better shape?
