I actually prefer an dog's neutered sack for polishing, and after your done it works great for an ad hoc hackeysack with friends.CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

is the sac shaven or still have hair? I would think the hair would pick up dust particles

I like Lemon Oil and steel wool. Just wish I had some speakers that had "wood" that was thicker than a piece of paper.:(

These work even better with Cat urine, just work quickly or you speaks will end up like the ones posted in the flea market.There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin -
I like to use an orbital sander, I find it gets ridd of the dirt stuck in the cracks and hey it even gets ridd of those cracks

An orbital sander with a polishing pad attached and a drop or two of chicken **** works wonders.

So consensus is not to use any kind of polish or wax - just dust our speakers and use some warm water and clean cloth to get the gloss part to shine?

I use a swiffer dust wand or one of those mits. when I see it does get dirty (finger prints and crap) I use a damp very well rung out cloth and follow right behind with a dry one.

If Jesse only had MY secrets for preserving wood.
I strongly suggest a 50/50 mix of plain old water, and crystal Drano.
I may not be as old as he is, but I've picked up a trick or two in my short time on this orb.

I thought your computer was busted. You fixed?
The Drano is an old Grand family tradition.
If Jesse says water and a rag, followed by a dry rag, then for me it's water and a rag, followed by a dry rag. Simple, you go with the pro.

Well then Burlington County must have the "Magic Library" man, cause I get neck kinks every time I go. Books? I don't need no stinking books.
Aren't you kind of close to the over 65....
never mind, I was thinking about something, but figured I'd better not.

Paint thinners are a base of the paint itself. Think about that for a second. " I just spent 5k on a paint job for my car. They used a thinner to mix the paint. I then use the same thinner to clean and polish the finish. = I completely ruined paint job."
=========================
I'm not trying to flame or call anyone stupid, or anything like that. I disagree with the above statement. Even though that paint thinner may be used as the "base" for the finish, once the finish is fully cured, that same base will not necessarily dissolve the finish.
An analogy would be with Latex Paint. The "base" for latex paint is water. But once the water has totally evaporated, an actual chemical change takes place in the paint film and then the paint can withstand being washed with water without dissolving. Most latex paints will tell you to wait at least 2 weeks before washing because it takes that long for the paint to fully cure. Some paints will also tell you that the ulimate sheen (flat vs. satin vs. eggshell vs. semi-gloss, etc.) will not be achieved until after this 2 week period.
As regarding using Murphy's Oil Soap, I have used it on wood furniture and on kitchen cabinets, etc. and have not yet seen any deleterious effects from it. But I usually mix it on the mild side and wring the cloth out good. I figure that in somewhere like the kitchen where you sometimes get grease build up on your cabinets from cooking, using plain water just won't "cut the grease" Murphy's oil soap seems to clean well but doesn't seem as harsh as using a stronger detergent.
Just my opinion, I don't claim to be an expert, although, I have done quite a bit of interior painting and never miss an episode of "Trading Spaces" (But I DID NOT stay in a Holiday Inn last night) <grin>Robert

can`t find a chicken,
will a pidgeon work.?
On a serious note ....
my wife used lemon pledge on the tops of my 2000`s..
They looked great for a long time...
not thinking I want to do it again, so I will take the earlier advise and stick to a mild soap and water type damp cloth, followed by a dry cloth...
but how do I get the shine it had with the pledge ?
and don`t say drano and chicken ****...
