Laquer is my preferred finish for all woodworking projects. Wax can be applied for further protection, but I would only consider doing that on something like a coffee table or dining table. I use a wax on my quartersawn oak antique coffee table (actually a cut down antique library table since they didn't generally have coffee tables back then), and once hand buffed, it is quite shiny and nice looking and the wax adds an extra protection against water, food, wife's fingernail polish, etc. Since you do not eat off of your speakers, or handle them daily, and assuming the laquer finish is nice, I do not see any reason to apply a wax. Dust them with a damp cloth or with a light dusting product sprayed on the cloth. Old laquer can be rejuvinated with a product like Howard Restor-A-Finish that is commonly used by anitique dealers looking to quickly make a piece look desirable for sale. However, that product reemulsifies the upper portion of the finish and should only be used sparingly.
How often to apply wax,to cabinet?
I had read that a good wax,like Briwax/Sheradale is the best care for speaker cabinets,with a laquer finish.I applied a good coating one year ago,and have my speakers in a dedicated room,with no smoke,and little dust.
How soon do I need to reapply the wax,as it is "work" to do correctly.I do not notice any wax loss,but want to keep the surface perfect.
Thanks in advance!
