shrink wrap film residue- how to remove

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.

theo..its a high gloss piano black finish. They use a water based automotive style type of paint for the finish..maybe this will be of some use and narrow down suggestions..thanks for all the great suggestions so far here..really appreciate it.

How safe would Googone be to use?

As I am currently out of Bestine, I recently used Goo Gone to remove some tape residue. It worked fine, and didn't damage the painted surface I applied it to. Try it, as falconquest suggested, in an inconspicuous location first.

If I were in your shoes, I'd go and talk to people who actually work in repairing that kind of finish instead of just trying things. I'd talk to guys at a body shop who do top notch custom body work. It may be that it needs to be buffed out. I'm sure guys like that have seen what happens when you shrink wrap a car. It's a cool prank, but it destroys a car's finish. The risk of just trying things is you may do more damage or seal in the problem. Waxes tend to soften finishes and discolor them too. I know who I'd talk to in my area, but I don't now where you're at.
