Question
Hi. I purchased a cherry veneer dining room table recently at a garage sale. I paid for it and returned a few hours later to pick it up. When I did we found that the table pads that were put on the table (after I paid) had some moisture in/on them and because the table was sitting in the sun, the moisture seeped onto the table causing a significant 6 inch x 12 inch white water mark on the surface. I purchased the set anyway (at a reduced price but I'd like to remove the mark. The table surface is a glossy cherry veneer. I've tried Murphys Oil Soap and Old English but neither worked. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you... Jeff
