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?

     Sounds to me like you need a girlfriend.  If you're mentally able to go outside your home, please make sure you don't step on any cracks.

Hit 'em with sandpaper and simply forget about the obsessive-compulsive polishing...steel wool...something...anything...
I actually ran into the EXACT same thing. To answer your first question - YES, you are out of your mind, but so am I so strength in numbers my friend :) LOL! I had just brought home my brand new Dyn Evokes. second day in the house I removed the power cord from my sub to tweak it's position just a bit (yes, OCD and I accept it) and the plug hit the top of the Evoke 50 and put the tiniest little scratch (yes I am also a complete zipperhead and got what I deserved for being so anal) in the top of the piano gloss finish...Are you kidding me???? If I could have kicked my own a$$ I would have right then and there!

After obsessing about it I ordered some car polish from Amazon hoping that may work (though I was also afraid it could make things worse as piano gloss black is the worst to fix, as you already know). Tried it and NOTHING changed. But at least it didn't get worse so I accepted to just cut my losses in that moment. And honestly t is just so small you have to be on top of it to see, so I have learned to live with it. Now months have past and I have put it out of my mind. It's fine. Just like when you get a brand new car and you get that first scratch, time heals (your mental state not the speaker). Point being time and acceptance will make it better, take this from a fellow OCD member:). Let it go and don't think about it. Just concentrate on that sweet sound every time you listen...
Glazes do not remove scratches or swirl marks. They just hide them temporarily. Wax protects a car for for about 24 hours or the moment you drive out of the garage whichever comes first. Looks nice though. Ah Zymol, the pina colada experience. Black cars? You have to be kidding. Only in a museum.
Porsche 911's? What fun. @millercarbon, you ever wrecked one? How many speeding tickets you get in a year? People who really appreciate what the 911 is about have wrecked at least one (I did but it wasn't my fault.....right) and they get at least one speeding ticket a year. Law abiding citizens need not apply. Real 911 guys appreciate the beauty of a Ferrari but would never own one. You can't beat the snot out of the thing without it breaking. I also hate cigars. Gag a maggot.
