    Any tips on polishing ?

    Not sure on what type of polish to use on my B&W speakers? Any hints.

    I use actual wood oil maybe twice a year. The rest of the time I use an aerosol dust spray. I never spray directly on the speakers-I spray lightly on a clean cloth and wipe gently. Have done this weekly for more than three years, and my 804s still look new.

      The manual states how to clean the speakers. I only use the cleaning cloth that was packaged with the 804's. Its only for wiping off dust. I do keep the dust covers on the speakers, to avoid dust on the drivers. Only for intensive listening I remove them, but thats only sometimes. I did once remove a bit of dust from the tweeters, but one must be very carefull when doing that.

      Indeed never spray anything directly on the speakers. But on the cloth first and then over the speakers. Obviously be carefull with the drivers.

      Do note that they will become a bit darker in time. This is normal.

          My turntable is a dust magnet!
          by Kevin P
          While spinning some vinyl, I became painfully aware of how much dust had collected on my Denon DP-300F turntable... not just on the dust cover either... the plinth was coated in dust as well, even though it spends nearly all its time with the cover closed. I've kept the platter and the cork mat clean,...

          DIY dust haters - here's the ticket

          Got a new dual mode sander for my birthday/Xmas last weekend.

          Can be used as a rotary unit (fast material removal, or for final polishing) or switched to random orbit. You can read more about it at the mfr's site. Didn't paste the link directly for that as it uses frames and doesn't...

          Polishing Crystalac
          by Finleyville
          I just finished spraying two baffles with the super clear crystalac. Since I did not own the spraygun I had to spray all the layers on at once. Now I want to polish it to a mirror finish. How did you do yours? Where do I start grit wise? Should I just start with a car polish? Any help is much appreciated....

          OT: Low cost HVLP spray system?
          by Jim Holtz
          Are there any low cost HVLP portable spray systems that could be recommended? I'm trying to get away from "rattle cans" but I'd also rather stay away from a gun that I'd use with my air compressor. Too much dust in the garage and I'd be limited to Summer only. I'd like to get a HVLP system...

          Wondering how members handle dust? DUST is a very important part of the care and maintainence of ALL your electronic equipment. It can cause real problems, especially with power supplys and amplifiers.

          1) Amps and power section with a nice layer of dust run hotter.
          2) If your...
