Section 5.1 – Care of the Finish
The Sophia Series 2 loudspeakers are hand painted with WilsonGloss™ paint and
hand polished to a high luster. While the finish seems quite dry to the touch, final cur-
ing and complete hardening takes place over a period of several weeks.
Dusting the Sophias
It is important that the delicate paint finish of the Sophia be dusted carefully with
the dust cloth, which has been provided. We recommend that the following procedure
be observed when dusting the speakers:
• Blow off all loose dust.
• Using the special dust cloth as a brush, gently whisk off any remaining
loose dust.
• Shake out the dust cloth.
• Dust the finish, using linear motions in one direction parallel to the floor.
Avoid using circular or vertical motions.
Because the paint requires a period of several weeks to fully cure, we recommend
that no cleaning fluids, such as glass cleaners, be used during this initial period of
time. When the paint is fully cured, heavy fingerprints and other minor smudges may
be removed with a glass cleaner. Always use the dust cloth. Stronger solvents are not
recommended under any circumstances. Consult your dealer for further information if
required. To maintain the high luster of the finish, periodic polishing may be desired.
We recommend a nonabrasive carnauba-based wax and a soft cloth.
