Islander Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I’ve used orange oil with good results. It makes a change from the popular lemon oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IV's are not oiled. They don't do any oil finishes in Hope any longer. What every you do, you have to make sure that it doesn't remove the special lacquer underneath.

babadono Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I use lemon oil on the oil finish speakers I have. Then once every 20 years(?) I'll break down and apply Watco in natural. Wipe off excess before it can gel and splotch. On lacquer i use Tung oil and wipe off the excess almost immediately. If you let that sit you'll have a mess on your hands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDBRbuilder Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I use very light application of Johnson's paste wax on my laquered speakers...and buff it to a high gloss by hand. works great! If old oiled finish, then wipe them down with wood soap first, to clean any surface grunge from them, wait until next day and then use whatever the original oil finish was...if not sure...use Watco's rejuvenating oil. . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
