How do you clean your speakers or equipment? Do you use regular towel or microtowel (prevent stratches)

what kind of chemical do you use to clean your speakers or equipment? do you use buff machine to buff your speakers? :confused::confused::p

    I don't think you want to use anything that is harsh.

    What speakers do you have, wood, vinyl or ?

    I use Pig Spit on my Vinyl Studio SDA-1Cs. Pig Spit is used on Harleys to restore Krinkle black, rubber, vinyl, chrome and paint.
    Speakers: SDA-1C (most all the goodies)
    Preamp: Joule Electra LA-150 MKII SE

    I usually don't get any gunk on my equipment so it's mostly dust/finger prints on piano finishes. I just go over it lightly with a microfiber towel. If need be, a slightly damp one, but that's about it.

    Fronts: Energy RC-70
    Center: Energy RC-LCR
    Surrounds: Energy Veritas 1.0CM
    Subwoofer: SVS PC12-NSD
    Receiver: Onkyo TX-SR705
    Amplifier: Denon POA-2200 w/ Ben's ICs


    Pics of my setup (click me)

    I use a camera cloth to dust and one of my wife's blush brushes around the drivers and tweeters (all new ones).
