hdavidspikes Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I've got a couple of industrial La Scalas, and would like to clean them up a bit...What's the best way to clean the surfaces? I have (for lack of a better term) the "Rhino liner" surfaces with aluminum trim. Not using them much outside anymore, so I'd like to clean them up for my "man cave"! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnKuthe Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I UNDERSTAND the aesthetics of a fine loudspeaker enclosure finish, but I still maintain of the UGLIEST speakers I ever saw also had the best SOUND I ever heard I'd WANT A PAIR BADLY! Function OVER form! That's my motto! John Kuthe... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray james Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 start with the same products that you would use on a car finish which has been uv damaged, start with a polish then a spray on wax and finish off with a surface/detailer product. A buffer will make the job go faster and look better. If you feel nervous start on the bottom of the speaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I mostly agree with Moray, however, you need to actually clean the dirt off of them first. You could try any of the milder household cleaning products. I use simple green diluted down. You would also need to rinse them off for anything that you had used to wash them. A very modestly damp terry cloth rag will do the trick, and make sure that you rinse them off often. And then proceed to use the car polish products.

moray james Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 guess I figured that was obvious! if not then I don't think that any advice anybody might provide is going to help or be followed properly. this isn't hand holding 101 after-al. good of you Jim to make the point never the less, I have to hope it is not necessary less this become like those Chinese warning tags stating "do not steam iron clothes while wearing". I mean who wears a steam iron anyway? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 those look like the fiberglass coated models. If so, a little soap, water and a brush should clean them up. Not much water and remove the drivers/crossover first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glens Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Might look into something like Pig Spit or S100 products. That's the first thing I'd try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
