Care for Painted Speakers


As an owner of WP6s, I'm fortunate to have speakers that, if properly maintained, are quite attractive.

while i've yet to find the right formula for removing surface imperfections (i.e. in the clear coat covering the base paint), i can say from experience that the following are all gravy for maintenance of its paint:

ivory liquid soap for washing the speakers
zaino brothers automotive wax #2

speakers never looked better. i just need to find something to get imperfections in the clear coat out...any ideas?

How deep are the imperfections? My speakers have soft clear coat (I think lacquer). I have to look up the exact information but one is 3M swirl remover I got from Manny's Auto Supply, a semi-professional parts dealer. It puts a mirror polish in the lacquer. Or also scratch out. You should be pretty safe using this stuff.
For deeper marks you can look into 1,500 grit or finer wet sanding (much better than dry) sandpaper.But if you break through the clearcoat you will be **cked and blending new clearcoat in with the old requires considerable skill IMHO. There is also the possibility the original base paint with new clear coat may not match the original finish/clearcoat.

I offer no gaurantee these will work for you.
So PROCEED WITH CAUTION.
I just take my Sophias to the car wash and ask for double spray wax.--Then I play the sound track from "Waterworld".
I have used zaino product for many years, and if want the best in the wax check out there site. I use their products on all my vehicles. On the 350Z I have 12 coats and I must say it gives it a depth in the shine that is truely remarkable. About a year ago I looked at my JM Labs Mezzo`s and wondered how it would work on them, I used the zaino z1 and 3 coats of the z2 I must say it really brought the Mezzo`s shine out. Don`t beleive me go to the site and read the testimonials.David
