RLink Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I was keeping this vinyl cover on top and it left marks on the tops of my speakers. I tried a little warm soap and water and they are still there. So upset about this and looking for any help in getting these marks or residue off??? I know goo gone would work but so afraid it will ruin the wood veneer finish............Thanks for any help with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLink Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 Attached is a picture of the top of one speaker. You can see the cover I was using left a checkerboard mark on the tops and I tried diluting Murphys Oil Soap and Warm Water and it didn't do anything. These are Cornwall 3's with a wood veneer finish..........thanks for any assistance with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsoncookie Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I have no idea, other than accept it and time to think of something to put on top. Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karsoncookie Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Maybe try some mineral spirits on a q tip on a tiny area. Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karsoncookie Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Now that I read the residue is "sticky", try the mineral spirit idea. Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 (edited) FWIW the spec sheet for the CWIII shows walnut, cherry, and black -- all with lacquer finish. WMcD Edited June 18, 2016 by WMcD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I use mineral spirits (paint thinner) to remove anything sticky on almost any surface. I think Lars suggestion may be worth trying. Use a soft clean cloth on a small test area. Rub gently and rinse immediately with a mild soapy solution and dry with a soft cloth. Good luck.

Keith In my opinion, I would not rinse with any water, w or w/o soap. Just the mineral spirits, let dry. and done. Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karsoncookie Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Cover it with a piece of tinted glass or a doily made by your Grandmother, and move on. Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superbee69 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) New to the forum. You may have already found a remedy for this issue by now. If not, I'll second the Naptha. I've used this solvent to clean Nitrocellulose lacquer finishes on guitars. Most recently my 1964 Gibson SG. As with anything test a small area before proceeding. Don't flood the finish with Naptha. Naptha is widely used by musicians to clean any instrument that has a Nitrocellulose Lacquer finish. Also, good advice in the previous post!
