-----What Causes Temporary Marks on Table, Not Water Marks?
September 30, 2008
I have an Espresso colored dining table and also an espresso dresser. I am experiencing the same problem with both items. Every time anything is set on the table or dresser, I get a spotty looking stain. It eventually goes away but I would like to know what's causing this?
It could be a placemat, napkins, a shirt sitting on my dresser...anything sitting on top of either of these items leave a spotty looking pressure stain..
Does anyone know what causes this?

A far out question, so here is a wild guess. It is your choice of wax that is the problem. If you are using a spray, consider a carnuba car wax ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] as it is much harder. If you are using a wax, you might try an oil, but I like the wax.
