white water marks from the top of my maple-stained
walnut- dining table top.

if it's a nitrocellulose lacquer the solution is simple: spray the surface with a retarder thinner which will soften up the finish enough to allow the moisture to escape.
*Try Howard's Restor-a-Finish available at antique malls (sometimes) or Home Depot (sometimes).
*I repair this problem on cutomers tables once a week what i do is lightly sand the finish with a piece of 320 grit paper very lightly . u can always sand harder later but if you sand through that color your in for a world of hurt. your just trying to lightly sand away the finish that has aquired that moisture then reapply that lacquer with an aerosole can. it's basically light refinishing.....when your all done oooo steel wool and paste wax to smooth out over spray or do what my customers do for about $40.00 a person will come out to your home and do what i,m telling you unless it's really deep they will want to refinish it ,but, think of it this way... if they mess it up they have to fix it,lol ;)
*Mix linseed oil(boiled)2parts, methanol,1part, turpentine 2parts,and rottenstone, wet rag with it(don't pour on table) work fast. One drawback, it will leave a high sheen where you use it.
