Mayo! Put it over the water mark, rub it in, and let it sit until the cloudy area disappears, then just rub it in with a cloth, and polish as usual.

Also a nice trick for scratch marks from cats: use a nut oil, like olive oil, or peanut, or walnut oil. Rub it into the scratches it will blend the scratch with the rest of the wood. They also sell wood markers in various shades, I found these at Linens-n- Things, (10/02/2008)
