I have purchased some XTZ Gloss Black piano finish speakers second hand from the classifieds and found a few small scuffs and scratches. Non was so deep that I could feel it with my nails but could be seen if looked close. I sent XTZ an Email asking how best to try and remove these and Mario the support agent stated some fine polish and be careful.

I had a root in the shed and found some Autoglym Ultrafine Renovator and some Smart Cannuba wax which brought these speakers back as new and the shine is now so deep.

Here are the 2 items I used and the results

I was advised also to start in a non conspicuous place like the back of the speaker or the bottom of the speaker and when happy with the results you can do the front and sides.

The Autoglym Renovator did an excellent job of the XTZ's but I think what type of paint and lacquer is used I suppose.
 
Thanks for that.. I have some old Wharfedale DX-1's that I wouldn't mind sprucing up.
I had thought about some 2000 grit wet and dry, then some 3M buffing compound to shine it up, but that seemsed just a little too harsh for me.
I'll give this a try though.
