shrink wrap film residue- how to remove

Hello,

I have high gloss speakers. I needed to shrink wrap the speakers to protect them as my unit needed a spray using chemicals. I place a drop sheet over them as well. I removed the shrink wrap and there are marks or residue on my speakers from the shrink wrap. I used a fine microfibre cloth and some distilled water but the marks are still there. Is this something that will take time to come out with repeated wipe downs?

Any suggestions on how to gently remove the residue from my high gloss speakers? Much appreciated.

2007audioman,
The top of the can says, "Enriches, beautifies and protects wood, metal, leather and plastics". As to whether it will remove your film, I'm not sure because I have no direct experience with your issue. I do believe it could be beneficial without causing harm. You could always try it on a small spot and see how it works. It certainly isn't expensive either.

I get what you're saying bdp24. I guess my thought was, the minor amount of naptha in the in the paste wax may be enough to remove the film and provide a new finish to the speakers at the same time. On the other hand, if it doesn't work then it will have to be removed. That's why I suggested a small test patch. Good luck audioman, let us know how it turns out.

+1 for checking with the manufacturer. I would try a good carnauba paste wax. I use it on my wood finish speakers and they are easy to dust and keep clean. There is some British paste wax that's supposed to be best for speakers and I don't recall the name but I just use good ole' SC Johnson.
