HELP...Bubble Wrap Marks in PIANO BLACK Speakers??
I think the suggestion about a mild abrasive may be right. If these are indeed a piano black paint finish over veneer, then some car polish may be just the trick. I once owned a pair of Roman Audio Centurions with the Galaxy Cream finish and the manufacturer suggested car wax to maintain them. I would try a little on a rag in an unobtrusive area to see what the results might be. Oz |
In somewhat similar but not exact situations, I have been able to remove residue or small marks with BRASSO. It is an extremely mild abrasive and the distilate helps in the cleaning. I believe it will work and as long as you do not apply too much pressure, it works as a fine polish for most everything including lacquer finishes, plastic, and of course metal. There is no downside unless you apply too much pressure at one time. Polish slowly and patiently. There is one downside. If the original finish is flat, using the BRASSO will polish it to gloss. |
I don't have any experience with the particular problem you're having but assuming the finish is some sort of synthetic lacquer or similar you might try something like the Novus plastic polishes. It comes in three grades and can be used progressively. I've used it for years on plexiglass and acrylic on both boats and motorcycles. Novus polishes |
I would return them to the seller, any furniture grade finish should be protected by a non-marring packaging, and unfortunately the speakers were not. If the seller did not disclose this nor did they inspect the speakers before selling, it should be their problem to handle. I would not mess with it any more as the seller will likely not accept them back if you degrade the finish in your attempts to fix it. Any fine furniture store will tell you you never use reactive materials such as plastic on a gloss finish. Movers always use cloth pads and/or soft pile lined burlap to protect expensive furniture. |
