How to care for piano black finish on NHT speakers?I

I just bought a used set of NHT VT-1.4 speakers with piano black finish.

Kinda cool, and really sound nice.

I am not sure how to clean /polish the surfaces. Never owned anything with that type of finish before.

Tried Windex, Pledge, OK, but "smeary" in some places.

Any advice?

Thanks!

    The pledge did you in that stuff is banned from speakers......how about Johnsons paste wax and a cloth baby diaper. Most will say microfiber but I hate them, they tend to cling to grit really well. I have never had a good cloth baby diaper scratch anything wished I could say the same about microfiber....

    Yep, you are right about the "Pledge" thing.
    Total FUBAR.
    From now on, I'm just using it in ice tea.
