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.

Plain old olive oil on a soft cloth might be a solution. I use it to remove adhesive when I'm out of Goo Gone.. 

Both Goo Gone and vegetable oil are very gentle to most surfaces and you'd probably be fine, but like everyone says, test it somewhere inconspicuous first.

Thanks falconquest for your post. I was thinking of using that one as well. One would figure it does work for high gloss pianos but are grand pianos using water based or oil type paint?

Audioman, if it is indeed an automotive finish, try a automotive clay bar to rub, press and roll across the finish. The clay bar is designed for cleaning paint, road grime etc. You should be able to purchase some at an Auto parts store that also furnishes paint to body shops. If not griotsgarage.com is a good source.

Remember to use the spray lubricant with clay bar (you can just use a "quick detailer" spray). Don't rub them dry.
