Piano Black Finish
 

My Canton speakers have a stunning piano black finish. As close to perfect as one can imagine, with great depth & no flaw. However, it does show the slightest amount of dust and I'm wondering about cleaning. I use a soft brush attachment on the vacuum hose as I don't want 'swirl' marks from wiping with a cloth. Am wondering if putting a coat of car wax (real wax, no cleaner) on same would help? Anyone tried wax and what are your results?

Applied gently with 100% cotton cloth results are super easy, super shiny, and super slippery. My JL Audio sub has no swirl marks and looks as new.

How about a Swiffer? Super soft and the dust goes away instantly. Just keep it clean.

I expect this would work well on my REL piano black subs. Thanks.

:thumbsup:

Canton shipped the speakers with a cleaning cloth. That's what I use. So far, no swirl marks.

Edit: Unless it was McIntosh that shipped with a cleaning cloth. Now I'm confusing myself and don't remember. Anyway, it's a common soft microfiber thing that takes care of dust perfectly and leaves no marks behind on the speaker surfaces.

I treat the Black painted finishes of all of my speakers like a fine automotive finish.

I use, and recommend Pinnacle Automotive products.

What do you folks use on CDs?

Ultra bit platinum.

Ordered a can of Pinnacle Souveran Carnauba wax. Don't want a cleaner, which can damage finishes.

I just paint them with any handy shaker-can of spray paint (am, of course, assuming you are kidding).
