Am I out of my mind? #obsessed


I have a pair of B&W 805d3 stand mount speakers. I dust them weekly with a microfiber cloth. From a few feet away they still look brand new but on closer examination they aren’t perfect. Tiny micro scratches and smudges. I had the thought of trying a polishing product or car wax to make them perfect again. Good idea or am I just #obsessed?

My GE Triton Reference Speakers are over 3 years old and the piano black lacquer finish is still perfect.  Dusting with just a microfiber cloth will get you scratches.  I talked to Sandy Gross who was the owner of GE and he told me to lightly mist the speaker with spray bottle of spring water and dry with a clean microfiber cloth going in one direction ONLY. I do not have any scratches or swirl marks anywhere on my speakers by following Sandys directions. 
Good Lord, You polish and wax speakers just like any other paint (after it’s cured) I make sure they’re are not surfaced scratched, I fix that first, then apply a HARD coat of natural wax, two coats will do. Make sure the wax is Carnauba Wax (VERY HARD) NOW buy Pledge Furniture polish.
Its PURE WAX, no additives (read the label it’s PURE wax).

A light spray on the clothe and on the base once a month. NOTHING will stick for one thing, and if it does, a slight brush with a feather wand will remove it.. I have 16 year old speakers that look like GLASS, Top to bottom...BLACK Laquer, and two sets of polly dips, BLACK. They are better mirrors than most of my mirrors.

I know how to finish and take care of paint...
I use to paint a lot... Now I don’t take the chances because of exposure, old lungs and chemicals don’t mix. BUT waxing the furniture sure keeps me in shape....:-)

I'm doing a TT plinth right now in high gloss black, in about 6 weeks it will get final 1200 blocking, a quick buff out with 2000 liquid compound and wax applied.. GLASS....

Yes. The Griot's Garage Best of Show wax is one of the highest carnauba wax contents you can find. That is exactly why I recommended it.

I also agree about the Griots Garage Best of Show Wax, I use it on my classic cars, and my audio equipment, turntables and speakers, and the finish is superb.
