Am I out of my mind? #obsessed

@mijostyn

Awesome. I will look into that process as well! Lots of good ideas to explore. Once again thank you all, very much appreciated.

That is precisely why I went with walnut. Gloss black is just impossible to keep looking clean. 

Get the best quality micro fiber cloths you can find. Some are very cheaply made.

   Never used it on speakers but I had a black BMW. In certain lighting conditions I could see very faint swirl marks. Most people probably didn't notice but I did. On the recommendation from a friend (professional auto painter) I used the 3M Imperial Hand Glaze prior to waxing. The glaze is not an abrasive. After, I could not see the swirl marks on the car.

   You may try the glaze on a small area of a speaker to see if it helps. I don't think you need to apply a wax after like you would on a car. A little difference in how to remove the excess glaze as compared to auto polishes and waxes....no need to wait for drying time. If there is any glaze left on the surface after using the microfiber, just apply more glaze to that area and wipe off before drying. Never tried the stuff on anything but cars but it really did a great job on them.

@millercarbonThanks man, appreciate your posts. BTW, I picked up some of those Nobsound springs and sandwiched them between two butcher blocks to try under my turn table. They worked! No more vibrations! Well, far less vibration anyway. I’m noticing they work better with only half of the springs they come with. I’ve ordered 2 more sets of 4 to play around with under my speaker stands and maybe my subs! So thank you again for being a proponent of those!

You're welcome. The springs you will probably find sound best when compressed a lot, more than half for sure. With four under my 63 lb turntable they sound best with only 3 springs per unit. The springs are small but very stiff! I've experimented with several different much larger springs, all work best when compressed at least half way.

As for paint, I was for years almost totally obsessed with Porsche- driving, showing, everything. Won my class at a multi-region PCA concours. NOT an easy achievement by any means! That was a long time ago. Technology advances. For automotive paint there may now be some nano or ceramic tech that is more durable. For appearance though nothing beats the depth, luster and gleam of carnauba.  

With black however you really do need to be obsessed. The year I won there was another car, newer, absolutely perfect black paint. When I say absolutely, the paint was so perfect you couldn't even see it! You would see the sky, the clouds, buildings, whatever was reflected. Several times I caught myself thinking I was looking at the paint. Then a mote of dust would land, give my eyes something to focus on. Only the did I realize it was the reflection and not the paint I was looking at. Its almost impossible to describe how perfect this car was. 

(Obsession: they had a guy with a very old cotton T-shirt perched on lookout. So much as a dust mote lands and the guy is up and the dust mote is gone. Seriously. There's obsession. And then there's Porsche.)

The next year, same owner, same car, nowhere near as good. Oh, it was much better than probably anything you ever saw in your life. But not as good as that. The year he won and was perfect I asked him what did you use? He said they brought half a dozen different waxes as depending on temp and humidity blah blah blah. Okay but which one did you use? Griot's Best of Show. Okay. And the next year? Something else. Very famous. Starts with an "M".
So anyway Best of Show for the premium finish. Personally, me, I just keep the lights down nice and dark. You never ever in your life will find a flaw by the light of the lava lamp.
