If it doesn't effect the sound of the call...then I'd leave the little fingerprints on it for a keep sake.  :icon_thumright:

Guess y'all are right will do it still sounds good just if you work the striker over the spots it's a dead sound

Nick, a little fine sandpaper or even hit lightly with steelwool should do it, but I think I would leave it as well.

I'd try a small spot with acetone. Maybe a q-tip just moisten with it...

I like to use alcohol pads from a first aid kit. Wipe it, let dry, then recondition with a scotchbrite pad. Works for me :)

Put some corn starch on the spots about a 1/4" thick, let it sit 4 to 5 days then clean with lemon juice and finish with a alcohol pad.
