Do you know what type of finish is on the speaker & is the mark white or dark.

The type of finish on the Mahogany veneer? Who knows? I bought the pair at the local goodwill store, and it seems to me ( but I'm no expert ) that it was just stained with something, and that's it. From what I can tell there was no protective top coat applied.What I did when I bought the pair was slightly sanded the surface with fine steel wool, then applied 2 coats of Butchers Wax. I just rubbed the wax on, let it dry, then buffed to a nice sheen.
The water mark/ring turned the wood a pale white color.
Would any of you try dipping a rag in laquer thinner or mineral spirits, rub the area where the mark is, let it dry out, sand, then buff with wax?????
Ok,
Ok,I'am going to take a guess. It's mahogany with some type of oil finish, (Tung ?) & the mark was dark (moisture has made it down through the finish) before you rubbed some other stuff into it & turned it white. If that is the case, you will have to strip the surface, bleach out the stain & refinish to match. It can be done, but then again, you have to know what your dealing with in the first place. So many finishes, so little time.
the active ingredients are fullers earth and mineral spirits - it acts to draw moisture from the finish while the fullers earth acts as a mild abrasive to polish the problem area.I bought mine at either Home Depot or Lowe's one of the two...
