shrink wrap film residue- how to remove

I used Duck brand adhesive remover from Target to remove really old sticky Scotch tape someone had wrapped the outer head of tennis racquet with maybe 15 years ago. Amazingly the racquet, a very expensive one, a Federer Pro Staff, now looks brand spanking new. Dunno if it will work in your case, might be worth a shot. 

Novus is a plastic polish and scratch remover. As wolf suggested, use No.1, the finest grit. Great stuff, I use it in restoring the "wraps" on vintage drums. Another great product I use, to remove tape glue residue on LP jackets and CD cases, is named Bestine, a very gentle cleaner. It’s kind of difficult to find, as it was discontinued when the company making it was sold a few years back. It has just recently been reintroduced, but I haven’t found a retail source for it yet. Goo Gone is worth considering. Whatever you do, do NOT put paste wax over the residue!

I get what you're saying bdp24. I guess my thought was, the minor amount of naptha in the in the paste wax may be enough to remove the film and provide a new finish to the speakers at the same time. On the other hand, if it doesn't work then it will have to be removed. That's why I suggested a small test patch. Good luck audioman, let us know how it turns out.

theo..its a high gloss piano black finish. They use a water based automotive style type of paint for the finish..maybe this will be of some use and narrow down suggestions..thanks for all the great suggestions so far here..really appreciate it.

How safe would Googone be to use?
