Speaker Polish?


I have a pair of PMC TB2 in Cherry finish. Does anybody use any wood polish on their speakers at all or should it just be left alone? My concern is wood drying out after a while.

Thanks,
Dave

I use Scot's Liquid Gold and I am going to have nightmares about the veneer on my speakers.
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.
Err, um, thanks Sean and Tom, but I wasn't that worried. The nice thing about the product I use is that you put it on a cloth, as you say, and then apply it to the surface. There are some other products that spray on like a foam and are easier to overdo.

Question, however, what do you do with older speakers that haven't been cared for? I acquired some second hand speakers in the last year or so that look like they were stored next to a furnace or left out in the sun or something, Very dry, and in the case of one pair, sort of grainy textured. Is more oil good for those speakers, or would something else be better?
