Cleaning speaker cabinet? NHT 2.5i

Hi guys,

Does anybody have any advice on cleaning speaker cabinets? In the manual for my speakers it says to use a damp cloth or a mild non-abrasive cleaner (any good examples?).

I have a pair of NHT 2.5i speakers - I only recently picked them up and they have smudges and fingerprints all over them, I want to see how nice I can make the cabinets look. I have the high gloss black finish to clarify.

I dusted them off with a microfiber cloth just now, but I figure I will wait for some responses before I do anything else. Thanks!

For high gloss black painted speakers I've always just used a damp cloth followed by a dry soft towel. It does a fantastic job IMHO. I also just use a damp cloth followed by a soft towel for my electronics, TVs and audio racks. It works well and no need to worry about chemicals damaging the finish.

Enjoy,

TIC

A product that's worked very well for me with piano-black finishes is Meguiar's Quick Detailer, applied carefully with a microfiber cloth. It cleans smudges and leaves a very light polished finish.

Give it a polish or two with "Zymol". This will protect the finish and give it a very deep shine. I use it twice a year on my MBL 111s and used it for years on my Kharma 3.1 speakers which always looked like new.
