Section 9.0 - Care of Your WATCH Dog
Your WATCH Dog subwoofer enclosure is hand-painted with WilsonGloss™
paint and hand-polished to a high luster. While the paint seems quite dry to the touch,
final curing and complete hardening takes place over a period of several weeks. To
protect the finish of the WATCH Dog during final manufacturing, shipment, and setup
in your listening room, we have applied a removable layer of protective film over the
painted surface. We recommend that this film be left in place during the positioning
process to prevent damage to the painted surface of your subwoofer. Once you have
determined the WATCH Dog’s final position, remove the film by peeling it off. Do not
leave this film on indefinitely as it will leave impressions on the paint.
It is important that the delicate paint finish of the WATCH speakers be dusted
carefully with the dust cloth, which has been provided. We recommend that the fol-
lowing procedure be observed when dusting the speakers:
•
Blow off all loose dust.
•
Using the 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 recom-
mend that no cleaning fluids, such as glass cleaners, be used during this initial period
of time. When the paint is fully cured, heavy finger prints and other minor smudges
may be removed with a glass cleaner. When cleaning the painted surface of your sub-
woofer, always use the dust cloth. Stronger solvents are not recommended under any
circumstances as they may damage the paint. Consult your dealer for further informa-
tion if required.
Periodic polishing may be desired over the years to maintain the high luster of
the finish. We recommend a nonabrasive, carnauba-based wax and a soft cloth.
