I have some fine, but long scratches on the piano black finish on one of my speakers. I don't think any of the scratches are deep and go through the paint/finish.

What can I do to eliminate those scratches? Any advice on the buffing material?

Thanks!

    If you drag your finger nail across it do you feel the scratch, if yes then the paint is broken.

    I suggest safe-cut to remove scratches that are not into the paint.

    Fortunately, it's all good and flat, so just scratches on the finish... What's 'safe-cut'?

    You're also bad ... and ... you're nationwide. I have it from highly trustworthy sources. That's gotta count for something.

    Hate piano finish now BTW. Too much trouble if kids can reach it: things just always seem to happen (mmadden, take note!).
    Alea jacta est!

    Staying away from Daddy's audio stuff is a high priority in my boys early training. ;) Of course that didn't stop them from taking the grill from my RTi12 and using it as a ramp to climb onto the chair thus breaking it into 3 pieces. No it didn't. :eek::mad::mad:
    Time for some tough love. So far, they've kept thier sticky fingers away from the shiny uPro4k :cool:

    I don't care for the Piano Gloss either--seems to be a dust magnet too.

    The high gloss on the mp4k seems a lot more durable than my lsi9's
