Best way to clean glossy finish on speakers?


I have a microfiber cloth and distilled water and isopropyl alcohol. 
 

I can use all this to clean a TV screen and my glasses, but is there a preferred way to clean pristine glossy finish on speaker cabinets so that trace scratching does not appear?.

Interesting comment about cleaning drivers cones above.

Never thought to clean them, exactly how does one go about doing that? Maybe a light dusting from a swiffer?

Because people are around and so forth I keep the covers on and they look fine.

I like the car detailing spray idea. Also a swiffer duster is really good to have. What an incredible invention this was and how stupidly simple it is.

No one mentions use of distilled water, which is a lot better to use versus tap water.

Amazing answers herein.

A Clean microfiber cloth is probably a good idea. Glossy finishes on speakers can be pretty damn incredible.

I think polishing glossy surfaces is probably not a good idea. Cars you need it because it protects against all the Dust and air flow.

I guess when you go away for extended periods while in Europe or you're Mountain lodge or when you're at your  Beach house, this would be a good idea.

I think the fabric covering it up may rub against it unless you design a special enclosure to avoid contact.

Practically speaking I'm not sure this works for me.

 

My glossy finish looks fine without any polish.  I just want to clean off the surface. Why would anybody polish an already existing Nice looking glossy speaker finishes??

Introducing a mixture of all kinds of molecules against the glossy surface can't be a good thing.

In light of the diversity of comments above and they have all been amazing, I think we can all agree that speaker surfaces can be a amazingly Beautiful to look at, and arguably are the most beautiful part of your system, and possibly your Home. It is clear there is no good audiophile grade maintaining and cleaning kit tailored especially for speaker surfaces. Using polishing products for cars doesn’t make sense in light of different environments being encountered. Lots of other ideas offered herein are not really tailored to a speaker

Consequently, effective immediately, I will be launching a new product line addressing how best to clean and maintain pristine speaker surfaces. These products will be available at your favorite audio gear shops very soon.

This Will include special purpose microfiber towels, distilled water Products, modified swiffer dusting products, specially designed white handling gloves, air blowing Devices to remove dust, air filtration devices to remove harmful airborne dust particles, and polishing products which are under development as they just don’t really exist for indoor pristine speaker surfaces. A surprising product availability gap apparently exists for maintaining speaker surfaces and driver surfaces.

Stay tuned for developing announcements. This will be really really big.


I ran across a package of two types of microfiber fabrics and link below, which includes a soft microfiber towels and a leatherly smooth fabric swatch that would seem to be ultra smooth. I’ve seen them before when they come with glasses i have bought. Apparently use of the word ultrasoft and you're searching efforts appears helpful

When I open up my Business selling microfiber towels for glossy speakers I may include this in my product line.

I think I’m gonna order these.
