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.

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.   
For really badly decomposed Scotch tape, a horrible sticky mess that had probably been there 15 years on the paint all around the head of an expensive tennis racket, Duck brand adhesive remover from Target worked a miracle. After a couple applications the racquet now looks brand spanking new, I’m happy to report. 😃
