...took the color off.?

Paint or stain? Either way, the quick and dirty answer is that you will need to sand the offending spots to remove the damage and then re-finish to match. If your piece is valuable, get a pro to do it and hope for the best. If you want to take it on yourself, first identify the finish and make sure you can match it. Then sand the spots by hand using 180 then 220 grit paper. Do only the amount of sanding required to remove the spots. Don't create divots. Sand with the grain. Re-finish following the product(s) directions. Like I said, this is the quick and dirty response. I'm betting you'll get all sorts of advise. Good luck.































P.S.: Have you tried a non-abrasive pad (like a 3M scotch brite pad) and a mild cleaner (baking soda). This might actually work followed by some Old English (dark or light to match)? Can't hurt and may save you some agony down the road.
