shrink wrap film residue- how to remove

Hello,

I have high gloss speakers. I needed to shrink wrap the speakers to protect them as my unit needed a spray using chemicals. I place a drop sheet over them as well. I removed the shrink wrap and there are marks or residue on my speakers from the shrink wrap. I used a fine microfibre cloth and some distilled water but the marks are still there. Is this something that will take time to come out with repeated wipe downs?

Any suggestions on how to gently remove the residue from my high gloss speakers? Much appreciated.

+1 for checking with the manufacturer. I would try a good carnauba paste wax. I use it on my wood finish speakers and they are easy to dust and keep clean. There is some British paste wax that's supposed to be best for speakers and I don't recall the name but I just use good ole' SC Johnson.

Audioman, you don’t mention what finish you have, is it a veneer wood finish or a high gloss paint?

2007audioman,
The top of the can says, "Enriches, beautifies and protects wood, metal, leather and plastics". As to whether it will remove your film, I'm not sure because I have no direct experience with your issue. I do believe it could be beneficial without causing harm. You could always try it on a small spot and see how it works. It certainly isn't expensive either.
