What Polish for Piano Black Speakers

[MDP]

I will be getting my Raidho D3's next week, The ones I have now will be going back to the factory because of some light shipping damage.

What is the best polish for piano black speakers ?

Pledge will do a fine job as a polish, but if you are seeking deeper bass, cleaner highs, and other audiophile thrills, you might consider this:Clef Restorative Cleanser & Polish Old No. 1 Instrument Polish

Thanks Tom !

Ken Smith Pro Formula for the satin finish and the new Fender Meguiar's stuff for the gloss finishes.

Agree. Pledge works great for quick cleaning, but as noted, automotive products work well on painted finishes as well.

cheers,

Going to check out that link for the natural polish... I've been looking for something that will work with the 1Ks.

For the Wilson's, my dealer recommended Speed Shine from Griots. Works great with a micro fiber cloth.

Dynaudio recommended Turtle wax Liquid Ice but I have used Meguires NXT and Mothers quick detailer with a micro fiber cloth. Any of those will even take out any 'dusting' swirls you may have gotten. Best part is you also now have a light wax protection. :woot:I have used those on both my Dyn C1 Signatures (when I had them) and Raidho D1's and stands

Note none of those waxes are a cleaner wax. Cleaner waxes will leave swirl marks.

I wouldn't use pledge on a piece of wood I hated. That stuff is greasy, oily, slimey, and some other adjectives that escape me at the moment. I would stick with some of the other choices that people came up with.

Mark, you might want to investigate (and give first a try by buying the 2 oz bottle) Cory "Super High Gloss Piano Polish"

Amazon.com - Super High Gloss Piano Polish 8 oz by Cory, Distributed by A Fully Authorized Cory Products Dealer - Wood Polish

Tom mentioned Pledge and AJ gave an approval.

Me, I'm not an expert; I just don't want any smell and chemicals on my furniture.
...I've seen the destruction done by those type of products before (that was on wood varnish though).

Favor® Furniture Polish : SC Johnson

I just don't feel comfy (instinct), but I could be wrong. ...Just sayin' anyway.

 

[MDP]

Thanks Bob !

 

[NorthStar]

No sweat Mark; I also carefully checked around.

 

[MDP]

Bob, I went ahead and ordered that piano polish by Cory on Amazon, I'll let everybody know how well it works.

That's good; from what I've read over at AVS, someone was real happy with it. He first bought a small 2 oz bottle (only $4 @ that time), then after seeing the results he bought a big bottle. ...And now he'll buy it for life, as long as it is still avail.
