I recently acquired 4 stage monitors from a local club. When I took the grills off , it looked as though they were growing hair (beer , dust , vomit , etc.) I went to work on one of them for about an hour with a rag , and it still looks like hell. Does anyone have any tips for a faster method?

Are we talking about the grills or enclosures here?
Grill:

Pressure wash

Enclosure:

What are they made of and what sort of coating do they have? Assuming some sort of non rat fur covering:

Remove drivers and pressure wash. The amount of crud that will come off is incredible. If they're wood, put a fan on them overnight to dry.  Depending how much you care about these, and whether they're wood or not, my next step would be get a dual action sander, and sand them down to almost bare wood. I'd start at 80 grit, maybe a little coarser depending on what's already on there. Chase that with some 120 and apply bed liner du jour.

I use a steaming hot damp/moist rag.
