Am I out of my mind? #obsessed


I have a pair of B&W 805d3 stand mount speakers. I dust them weekly with a microfiber cloth. From a few feet away they still look brand new but on closer examination they aren’t perfect. Tiny micro scratches and smudges. I had the thought of trying a polishing product or car wax to make them perfect again. Good idea or am I just #obsessed?

If you want to apply a high quality real wax try some ZYMOL carbon wax for dark colors. This wax is not sold at most auto parts places thats the cheap stuff. You will have to order it online and a small size container will set you back $50. This is a paste that you rub on and rub off right away! It will make your piano black speakers glisten like jewels.
I use this on my black Porsche 951 too :-)

Just ignore the micro scratches. Innocuous obsession could lead to paranoia or to something even worse later. Use soft duster from walmart or target and approach the speakers only when you use it. 

     Sounds to me like you need a girlfriend.  If you're mentally able to go outside your home, please make sure you don't step on any cracks.

Hit 'em with sandpaper and simply forget about the obsessive-compulsive polishing...steel wool...something...anything...
I actually ran into the EXACT same thing. To answer your first question - YES, you are out of your mind, but so am I so strength in numbers my friend :) LOL! I had just brought home my brand new Dyn Evokes. second day in the house I removed the power cord from my sub to tweak it's position just a bit (yes, OCD and I accept it) and the plug hit the top of the Evoke 50 and put the tiniest little scratch (yes I am also a complete zipperhead and got what I deserved for being so anal) in the top of the piano gloss finish...Are you kidding me???? If I could have kicked my own a$$ I would have right then and there!

After obsessing about it I ordered some car polish from Amazon hoping that may work (though I was also afraid it could make things worse as piano gloss black is the worst to fix, as you already know). Tried it and NOTHING changed. But at least it didn't get worse so I accepted to just cut my losses in that moment. And honestly t is just so small you have to be on top of it to see, so I have learned to live with it. Now months have past and I have put it out of my mind. It's fine. Just like when you get a brand new car and you get that first scratch, time heals (your mental state not the speaker). Point being time and acceptance will make it better, take this from a fellow OCD member:). Let it go and don't think about it. Just concentrate on that sweet sound every time you listen...
