Cleaning, polishing Speaker Cabinets ?


What's best to use for cleaning and polishing speaker cabinets? I've been using furniture polish with lemon seed oil. I just think there must be some other products that are better. What do you use and name some brands please? I have Egglestonworks isabellas with factory cabinet stands. Not getting results I would like with my grocery store furniture polish with lemon seed oil.

I have a real wood Daedalus speaker, not sealed by lacquer. Lou recommends Lemon oil for his speakers and I have found it excellent, smells good too.

I don't think people take enough notice of the difference. A Lacquered finish isn't really wood any more, it is like a gloss finish on a car. Real wood needs treating to stop it drying out and it changes over time. Typically the colour darkens significantly over time, my speakers certainly have over the last 5 years.
If you go the wax route I really like the Zaino show car polish for clear coated finishes. It is not abrasive and the best part is doesn't leave any film, powder or white residue. Can be found on the Zaino website.
Different veneers and finishes require different methods. Some are finished so they can breath and some aren't. If your finish is supposed to breath, you must be careful because oiling it or applying pledge or wax etc. can clog the pores and now you could be creating a situation where you could damage over time to that finish depending on environmental conditions. Harbeth for example does not recommend oils for this reason.

If you have a finish on it, some waxes contain abrasives and over time, you could be wearing it down. I've seen Spendor say that the lacquer on their veneers should not be cleaned with polishes for this very reason.

Best thing to do is to ask the builder of your speaker. Hopefully they are familiar with what works best with their finish.
I purchase Coconut oil from Costco, and found it to be excellent as a wood polisher/conditioner.
