: 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

Hey Mike

Paul got me to thinkin' again, and that's not easy for me, but, whenever I went to Baja to fish, we always took a few bars of a soap called " VEL ". It was in a pink wrapper. Don't know who makes it, but, It's about the only soap that we could ever find that would even lather up in the water down there. Way high in minerals. Other soapw would just get wet, soggy and float away. If it's mineral deposite, and it sounds like that is it, that may help you. It's very hard to find down here, but some of the cheaper stores, and Mom and Pop stores used to carry it. Hope that helps.
