[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 4331451, member: 1136"]Restore a finish didn't touch it, I was surprised too. I've started using denatured Alcohol. Its removing the waterstains by "dissolving" the finish. The results seem to be a shiny fishing that brings the wood color back through. I like it both ways, but I prefer the darker, flatter finish (which was probably just years of dust and dirt :smuggrin:) Here is a video I did of the denatured Alcohol dissolving the water marks [MEDIA=youtube]l9lvJfEQsKk[/MEDIA] Here's a before and after of the "whitest" water spot. I think I'll still have some issues once this step is completed though, you can still see some lighter areas where the stain lifted from the water spots. Maybe going back over some areas well help.
