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,

I always used Boiled Linseed oil on hand rubbed oil finished wood loudspeakers. If the wood has a poly or protective finish,you'll have to treat that differently.
For cleaning, Murphy's Oil Soap is good, and for polishing the above mentioned Lemon Oil or Orange oil work well. Be careful with the Linseed Oil, because if you get the wrong kind, it will be tacky. Also, go easy with the oil, because most speakers are veneered, and too much oil can soak in, and make the veneer lift off.

Also, the above comment about making sure what type of finish is on the speakers is very important. If you have a clear lacquer type finish, use wax.
You might go to a music shop and get some guitar polish amde by Martin or some other maker for acoustic guitars. Works for me and does not have any bad side effects.
I use Johnson Wax Lemon Favor available at a Target Store near you. Be careful not to rub any dust grit back into the finish. Oils are nice for solid woods. If my veneer lifted I'd lose my mind :^)
If the finish is not sealed you can use lemon oil such as Formby's but if it is sealed Pledge will work just fine. I've been a cabinet maker for years so don't agonize over it.
