By the way, the Cornwalls... I'm in Love!!! Smitten! Raptured!

Thank you for the input on the finish. I have been in the trades for decades. In my youth I apprenticed with a German trained American that apprenticed in woodworking and furniture making. So with that and working in various related trades I have relatively good knowledge if I know what I am dealing with concerning applied finishes. It sounds like they may use a Catalyzed Lacquer. Lacquer finish by itself goes down beautifully and presents well immediately and can be built up to a thicker deep finish. The newer modern finishes available are generally 2 part catalyzed finishes that are very durable compared to a traditional lacquer finish that isn't as durable. And 'Trade Secret' is just that! A trade secret is to use a furniture grade oil to cover those scratches, especially those that present as a white mare on the surface. And if you add a compatible stain to the oil it will hide even better. And as a light intermittent application it could be used as a polish. I read that it has a coconut oil base.

I just purchased a pair of pre-owned Cornwall III's in cherry finish. What type of finish does Klipsch use to spray their cabinets at the factory? What are people using to maintain the finish? Polish, oil, wax? Does Klipsch or owners have a recommendation?
