maintenance of the piano black sf concertos

Scratches in Wood are simple to cover.Scratched in Black paint are impossible to hide ! Even if you have a big chip in wood it is not that hard to mask it.Even touch up paint on painted surfaces show up a mile away....Tuff choice???
I have painted Speakers!

Joeij-If your heart is set on the black piano finish I would get them.
Go to a GOOD piano shop and see what they recommend.Its a chance they may have supplies in stock for sale that will keep your speakers looking like new.
In time you 'may' end up with very light swirls but then,maybe not.
If you do,they would be hard to see unless up close in good light.
Again,if you really want this finish,go for it.

How do you get hairline scatches out of the piano black finish on the SF Concertos ??
Thank you all who help.

try a good car wax. They are designed for such things!

I had a piano finish Kharma speaker, they can be easily cleaned, but if they get damaged, the repair is astronomical! Of course they are one of the best looking finishes available.

Rainman,

The best way to remove hairline scratches/swirls on a black piano finish is with some 3M products basically made for the auto industry. I would start with the Imperial Microfinishing Compound and finish with the Foam Polishing Pad Glaze. You can apply these by hand using a very soft cotton cloth and some muscle or get a orbital polishing machine. Be sure to use a different cloth or pad for each product and work fast. If you still have scratches after that you may want to step down to the Super Duty Rubbing Compound and then work your way back up the the Polishing Glaze. Any supplier to the auto or wood finishing industry will carry these products. A coat of Rain Dance car wax after the polishing will help retard further scratching, but nothing will prevent it unless one never dusts/cleans the surface.

Best,
