The official word from Golden Ear regarding my Triton References speakers finish: mist very slightly with water and wipe with microfiber cloth. Follow up with another dry microfiber cloth to polish. Do not use any wax or automotive products on the finish.
How To Clean Piano Black Speaker Finish?
What do you use to clean your speakers Piano black finish? I am using a slightly damp microfiber cloth. So far, in 2 years, no scratches. Is there an easier way to keep them clean? I have used a very clean wool duster a couple of times but it doesn't help fingerprints like when I move them. Anyone?

Mike, Maybe theres some confusion. Millercarbon suggested using Griots #4 “ultra fine polish”. I don’t believe that an ultra fine polish designed to remove fine swirl marks is going to Cut through the paint unless you’re really going at it. I’ve updated my systems page and uploaded numerous pictures of my last 2 projects. One project was to repair and repaint a pair of Kef XQ5 speakers. I spent 2 weeks on it but ended up with a mirror finish with zero orange peel or swirls. I wet sanded with 1500, 2000, 3000 before going through 5 different polishes. My next project was wet sanding and polishing my Mini (can’t afford a Porsche, although I agree they are the best cars out there). I had horrible flames and pin stripes on the Mini that were professionally painted on the car. I followed a similar regimen in order to remove the flames and stripes off the paint. I attached those pictures for you to check out as well :-) And LoL at change out the Bo for an A. Took me a minute to get it but that was funny. Still though, I doubt that you or I are going to teach anyone who has won a concours how to detail a car. If you haven’t seen Ammo TV yet, you can look him up and see really how deep the detailing rabbit hole can get. -Bruce |
A friend who is a guitar repair genius recommended Novus...a plastic polish supposedly, but he saw it at the Collings guitar shop and he was sold...so am I...I use the lightest version of the 3 available (#1) on everything from my motorcycle helmet face shield to my nitro finished acoustic guitars...amazing stuff. |
I recommend Gerlitz Smudge Off which was personally endorsed for polishing high gloss finishes by an ultra high end dealer. A quick spray onto a MF or other soft scratch free polishing cloth and a gentle wipe cleans exceptionally well while leaving no residue or streaks. It's commonly used on high gloss guitars, and also works well on any gear that's metal, glass, chrome, etc. https://smile.amazon.com/Gerlitz-SMUDGEOFF-Smudge-Spray-Cleaner/dp/B000WIFUDW |
