Wrinkles Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 It is on an EPIC CF1, Medium Oak, SN 260494751 What is the best way to fix? Damage appears to be shallow with mainly discoloration. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_Guy Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 It looks like it may mostly be a hard water stain and white vinegar works great for this but it usually takes a few applications. Vinegar is a great cleaner and does a much better job than most professionally made cleansers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestonTom Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Before you go too far.... Is the finish an oil or a lacquer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrinkles Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Tom, According to the sales "Epic Series" Klipsch brochure, it is a lacquer finish. Is Vinegar the best way for a lacquer finish? Wrinkles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_Guy Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 If possible it's always a good idea to test any cleaner in an unseen location first to be safe, but I think vinegar would be one of the best options. I use it quite a lot for cleaning it's an excellent all around cleaner and works very well on hard water deposits which is what the stain on your speaker appears to be.

oldtimer Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 The worst that could happen is you have to sand it down a bit and refiinish the top. You'll probably have to anyway, as it appears the laquer is gone at the stain which would be expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 There was a squib in a woodworking book about these white stains. It said to put down a film of petroleum jelly for overnight or 24 hours. Then wipe off. I've never tried it but it can't hurt. Wm McD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
