Mike,

I'd start out by trying warm water first.

You might have luck with the vinegar. Or rub a bit of lemon on one of the spots, that might work too, and be a little less harsh than the vinegar.

The plumbing dept of your local hardware should have something to remove mineral deposits from shower roses and other plumbing fixtures, this will work, though i'm not sure of it's effect on your varnish, should be ok.

Your local camping store should have hard water soap, this may work too.

Julie's given some good sugestions too.

Whichever way you decide to go, make sure you try it out on a test piece first!

Cheers,

Paul.
