I use Zaino products on my black gloss Focal Sopra 2's. In particular I use their grand finale spray seal to remove dust on a regular basis with a soft cotton cloth. I use their all-in-one about once a year to give the finish a nice coat of protection, these products make the surface a very slick. I only handle the speakers with white cotton gloves if I need to move them. So far I have only had one scuff mark on one of them, which came off with Zaino fusion polish. They make good stuff, I have been using Zaino on my automobiles for probably 15 plus years. Right now I am looking into a ceramic product, the only problem is there are so many out there it is hard to weed out all of the junk, I have tried a couple that were just that.

@macg19 , You can get into a lot of trouble with a rotary polisher. You can burn right through the finish. However with Menzerna 3500 and a foam polishing pad on a random orbital polisher it is virtually impossible to get into trouble. You would have to throw the polisher at the speaker. It would take hundreds if not thousands of polishings to get through the finish and it is impossible to burn through the finish. You can't generate enough heat. The Cyclo is another safe finishing device but I find it clumsy to work with. @vandy357 CQ Quartz UK formula. Lasts three years in New England. You have to rub out the finish first and use a professional surface cleaner like CarPro Multix. If you leave anything like fingerprints or water spots on the paint you will seal them right in and the only way to get them off is to rub the panel off and start all over. This is true for any of these products. First time around it is best to do a white or silver car. If you do a black car you will wind up committing suicide. |
@mijostyn I am certainly not good enough with a rotary polisher to use that on my speakers, if you don't know what you are doing with one of those you can burn clean through the paint. I don't need anything like the CQ Quartz because my speakers are not in the weather that beats up on a wax, the summer sun in the Memphis area is really hard on automobile paint. @emergingsoul I am not sure what kind of paint is on my Sopra speakers but it sure looks like automotive paint. I use the products to help protect the finish and make them easier to wipe down when dust settles on them, (and finger prints that always seem to make their way onto my speakers). If you don't want to use anything like that that then I would suggest a soft damp cloth followed by a dry cloth. You just have to be careful what kind of cloth you use because they can scratch the painted surface, Griot's has some really good cleaning cloths and other products to remove dust and other contaminates without scratching the surface.
