Speaker Polish?

I have used a product called New Life for Wood and recommend it highly.

Use 2 coats minimum applied with 0000 steel wool. I would expect using this product on wood with a synthetic finish would be a very idea.

Why the nightmares Paulwp? Liquid Gold is what B&W recommended to me.

Only in reaction to Twl's comment above about too much oil. Not about Scott's, in particular. It's what Harbeth recommended to me also. I guess the Brits like it, and they've been polishing wood furniture for a long time.

Paul: I agree with Twl. Too much oil will saturate the veneer and then soak into / soften the adhesives below. Adhesives deteriorate with age as it is, so no need to speed up the process.

I typically apply a reasonably even coat of lemon oil on one speaker and then move onto the second speaker. By the time i've finished the second speaker, a great majority of the oil has already been sucked into the wood on the first speaker. I'll typically go back over the first with a light coat and then hit the second with the same.

In the HT system, i'll do all seven cabinets ( mains, center, surrounds, two subs ) and then hit them all again in the same order. Just polishing all of my speakers pretty much eats up an entire Sunday, so they don't get done as often as they should. As such, i should probably start looking into something that is both a polish and a wax. This should hold up a little longer and protect the finish a little better at the same time. Sean

Paulwp, no need to have nightmares. I am only cautioning against going crazy with the oil. Some oil on a cloth, which is enough to bring back the surface luster, is all you need. Additional oil is unnecessary, and could cause the veneer problem. Reasonable sense should prevail. Normal use of oil on the finish from time to time will not harm your veneers. Some people just think that if some oil is good, then alot of oil is even better. This is why I made the cautionary statement.
