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.

Hi chayro..haha..I'm not a drinker so it would be purely used for cleaning and disinfecting..haha..I have some isopropyl 91 percent I was going to try in a small area and see if it does anything. I need to get some microfibre towels to start to get at the job first though and see what happens.

I tried the isopropyl alcohol full strength but didnt do anything for the marks. Back to the drawing board. I tried a hair dryer and it didnt do anything..sigh..anyways just a quick update.

This is the strongest chemical I have come across to remove adhesives. Does better than steel wool. Drys almost instantly and leaves no oily residue. Try it on a spot not visual, like the back or bottom. Can use it with Qtip or cloth.

I'm sorry to say I think it's a chemical reaction that can not be remedied.    I have seen shrink wrap fog lexan display windows on the instruments i repair if left on too long or exposed to heat.   Thats why we use bags on everything, or their canvas covers before wrapping to transport.
