I assume the spots were NOT there originally? Is the room high humidity? Is the finish a water based latex? Possibly the cabinetmaker used steel wool in a finish step then used a water based latex paint, so the tiny particles of steel wool rusted? Do the spots wipe off? If so they may be mildew if there is high humidity?

Beautybutdebtfree, thanks for responding. I am quite sure the spots were not there on install. I am very detail oriented and a bit of a perfectionist. I had a adjusted the door hinges and dusted off the cabinets initially so I think I would have seen the spots.
There is a very good exhaust fan in the room and actually so far the room is not used for showering- just for bathing their baby. Absolutely no mildew or mold.
From what I understand the finish is a factory baked on finish and not water based.
The spots do not wipe off.

The first thing I would look to determine if I were the dealer or the manufacturer is customer abuse. This seems too consistent for that to be the case. I'll bet they've seen this before.

Treb, there definitly has been no customer abuse. The spots are very, very tiny. You can't see them unless you are up close to the cabinet but I am pretty sure they were not there initially. Once I saw the first ones I put my eagle eye to it and saw that the spots are in multiple places on the cabinet.
I have tried google searching but haven't come up with anything.
Any one else have any ideas what it might be?

Badgergal, I have white-painted Fieldstone cabinets in my kitchen. This should be covered by their warranty. I advise your DD contact the dealer.

I'm not saying there was customer abuse. I'm saying that's the first thing that's going to go through the mind of the dealer and manufacturer.

Are the spots raised, sunk into the finish or flush?

The spots are flush. Today, I went to the place where the cabinets were purchased but the sales person/store manager that we dealt with was on vacation so we will have to wait until next week to talk with them about it.

At Fieldstone Cabinetry, we have not seen this before, but it is difficult to determine exactly what is going on, and the cause of it, from a photo. Fieldstone Cabinetry has an excellent warranty. It sounds like you've contacted the local dealer. If you haven't, we encourage you to. That is the first step in getting this situation resolved. The dealer or the local representative should do a on-site inspection.

Jen, thanks for your reply. I have been in contact with the local supplier and she has forwarded my concern to the Manufacturers Rep. The Rep is supposed to be contacting me directly to set up a time to look at the cabinet. It has been a 4 days since I was told this so I guess I may have to call the supplier back.

As I said these spots are tiny and not noticeable on a casual glance but when I was up close to the cabinet and saw them I knew that it was not normal.

I will post back after the Rep has seen them.

The Fieldstone Rep came to look at the spots on the bathroom cabinet. He agreed that they did not look like any thing that the homeowner would have done but he had never seen that on any of their cabinets before. I informed him that I had followed the manufacturers cleaning instructions and the spots had not come off.
The rep then took a container of acetone from his bag, put a little of it on a cloth and wiped down all the spotted areas. Like magic they disappeared.
The cabinets have a tinted catalyzed conversion varnish on them and the finish was not harmed by the acetone.
I felt bad that the rep had a 90 minute ride to get to the house for such a simple fix but I certainly would never have used acetone on my own. He was very pleasant about the service call and was happy it wasn't something more serious.

So all is well :)

That's interesting. Did he have a view as to what caused the spots?

Out of interest, did you try WD 40, wonder if that would have worked as well .
