Treat it like timber furniture. If they are damaged or worn a good cabinet maker can fix them like new.

If its in the sun a lot you will get discolouration just as you would with any timber furniture. I have rosenut 804s from 2006. i use a little furniture polish once every 6 months. its enough to keep them looking new apart from the natural darkening of the FST which I don't think you can do anything about.

Yep... Pledge seems to do alright... Used it on my 804S and now my 801D

I always thought that that kind of product could damage the veneer and affect its color, good to know I will try it and let you know. BTW it seem that you have been away from the forum for some time, do you have any new comments of your 801D?

Been using pledge on my speakers forever. I use the "Extra Moisturizing" pledge.

What about Mineral Oil.... Works great on things. I'd try it that in a small location, it should re-vitalize the wood.
