Hello!
What are you guys using to clean (dust) your Axioms with? I have the black oak finish.
Thanks in advance.

Steve, a microfiber cloth, like those used for car finish care, works well.

I just use one of those dusting "swiffers" that my wife uses to dust the rest of the house.

I use swiffers to dust them....they collect the dust, not move it around,.....and leave no residue.
I also, CAREFULLY vacume the grille covers using the brush attachment...this removes the dust IN the "cloth", leaving them looking new.

I'll second microfiber towels. I buy mine in a 24pack at costco for 10 bucks. They are great for dusting all my gear, cleaning plasma screens etc. Dont use any sort of cleaners or polishes on the finish. If you need to, a damp cloth with plain water. I have found that with the HG finish more than dusting is needed to keep the gloss finish because they get covered in some kind of residue or dirt that clouds the finish a little which plain dusting doesnt clean off. Thats where the microfibers come in

I agree, I don't think you would want to use a polish on a vinyl wrapped exterior. I had my first m60's for 2-3 yrs. and just kept them dusted.
Unless your room is out of the ordinary, you should not have any concerns.
