Can you keep a secret?

I just got a new subwoofer. Installing it meant I had to move the the four Dynaco A-25s that were sitting atop my old subwoofer.
In my kitchen, I noticed that the surfaces of the Dynaco A-25 had faded a bit over the two year period since I had restored them.
I re-did one of those surfaces (and am currently working on the others). My secret for getting two years out of a refinish?
When I oil the speakers I work on, I use 0000 steel wool, rather than a simple cloth. It "grinds" the oil into the surface and means you need to polish the speakers up less often.
Please don't tell anyone about this, as it is one of my wood restoration secrets.

Well how much ginger I add to tea and the sugar and milk in the tea I prepare in winters are my secrets and I have not revealed them to anyone!

Don't worry I won't. I don't know anybody who has the same hobby as you.

@toniganzon Yes, true story. But then, she's bored by everything I do. Not the most ego-enhancing friend.

@rebelann
Do you use pony's technique when sanding and oiling your plastic speakers, Ann? (grinning and teasing you!)

If you get time and feel like it, you should call and chat with me again. Let me see, I am not working on Wednesday and Thursday this week and Tuesday and Thursday next week.

This has very little to do with the content of the post, but is that a picture of a humpback whale in the background?

I promise I will not tell a soul, but I may use this secret myself.
