Cleaning speaker cabinet? NHT 2.5i

Hi guys,

Does anybody have any advice on cleaning speaker cabinets? In the manual for my speakers it says to use a damp cloth or a mild non-abrasive cleaner (any good examples?).

I have a pair of NHT 2.5i speakers - I only recently picked them up and they have smudges and fingerprints all over them, I want to see how nice I can make the cabinets look. I have the high gloss black finish to clarify.

I dusted them off with a microfiber cloth just now, but I figure I will wait for some responses before I do anything else. Thanks!

Thanks for the helpful responses guys. I actually posted the same question on a different forum and got a response of using Meguiar’s® “NXT Tech Wax” coupled with their microfiber detailing cloths. From these responses too, it looks like waxing is the way to go.

The guy on the other forum basically said he wiped them down with a damp rag, let dry, and waxed afterwards - is this how you guys do it also? Is there any need to clean with anything besides water before waxing?

I use a Microfiber cloth and Pledge spray polish on my Kharmas and they do a great job...

I was going to try guitar polish on my NHT classic Fours.

I have THE answer. I use a product called PLEXUS. It was deigned for aircraft plastic windshields and is primarily used for motorcycle windshields.(bike owners are as picky as audiophiles about their babys) I have used this on any motorcycle plastic parts for years. IT IS THE BEST. I use it on my mirror finish JL Audio subwoofers.Sold at most motorcycle shops. Note I spay it on my turntable cover(25 year old table) and it looks as good as the day I bought it.
