Speaker Polish? REVISITED

I asked about speaker polish before in an earlier post and got some great answers from you guys. I'm looking for Liquid Gold. Someone even told me about Orange Oil. Any experience with Orange Oil?

Also, after I posted my question I found a nice scratch on the top of the speaker. Nobody in the household is talking. Time to set-up the secret cameras :) Anybody know how to buff that nasty scratch out. The speakers are a Cherry vaneer finish, the scratch shows up white or natural in color.

Thanks again guys,
Dave

I mentioned the orange oil. It is basically the same as lemon oil, they just get it from an orange. It does the same thing. I noticed that is some of the better furniture polishes I've seen lately, they have orange oil and beeswax. The beeswax can build up, so you have to strip it if it begins to yellow.

Try Home Depot,or Lowes for a touch-up stick that is color matched to they cherry veneer on the speaker and just touch up the scratch, and put a good polish over it. That should do it.

Dave, I'm not really a polish expert. I would look at your finish and determine what is a good polish. For an "open" wood finish, I think that light oiling or something like that is fine. For lacquer finishes, I would use a wax polish. I think Pledge is a wax based product, and Hank(above) is an experienced cabinet maker, and he recommends Pledge, so that is probably a good choice.

Personally I use Goddards Antique Furniture polish. It has worked very well for me.
