lsi/lsic cleaning

askinquestions

Tried the damp towel and the dry towel bit. Used soft cloth, but leaves small scratches. Was wondering what any one else who has these is using.. Pisses me off because I take great care of my stuff and to pay out a good chunk of money to not be able to keep these looking new.

windex and a diaper (cloth)

Will that get rid of the apparent scratches or is there something to get these back to looking original again???

New version of LSi's or old? (when looking at the front with the grill off - do you get a picture frame effect or smooth to the drivers?)

If front is picture frame effect, not sure what to do with it.

If smooth to drivers, the gloss black is actually painted on with a clear coat over it similar to a car finish. You can actually use car polish or a very light rubbing compound to fix minor scratches. (try it on the bottom of the speaker first, just to test out that theory)

I used car polish on mine and it helped a lot.

I just purchased in the spring so I guess there the new version. Didn't know there was any change. I was thinking of trying out the car polish, but didn't know if it would F up the laquer. I just can't see how a top of the line speaker would look crappy after you get some dust on it and clean it off. I guess if the car polish doesn't work, I need to take these into Earl Schieb. What a jip.

I put mine in the dishwasher. Works great.

wow, I thought I was the only one with the little scratches on my speakers. I've used a feather duster and that even leaves marks. I agree that the finish should be able to stand up to a cotten cloth

Micro-fiber cloths work very well, I use them on my LSi's and on my lacquer finished drums. No scratches. Buy a couple from an auto parts store for cheap, get one damp, and one to dry.
