The desk has a leather top. It looks that the leather was stained for appearances when new.The top has various imperfection on it&#39;s surface, such as paint etc. The imperfections only cover a small area of the top. I would like to remove the imperfections, but I never worked with leather before. I don&#39;t know what caused the spots because they were there when I bought the desk. I have three questions:</p> <p>1. Whats a good way to remove the spots?</p> <p>2. If they can&#39;t be removed, where can I buy a new leather top?</p> <p>3. What kind of finish can I use on the top?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank You &nbsp; Richard</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
