I noticed some spots on the tablesaw a week or so ago. I assume some sweat dripped from my chin or the back of my hand at some point.
My shop is not a show room. I work my tools. I have used the tablesaw nearly every day since 2013 with the exception of the year it took me to build the current shop so lets call it 12 years. I am not abusive but I do not baby it either; it is a tool. I have used Boeshield's Rust Free since two tablesaws ago with good success. It is caustic. You need to wear gloves and a respirator but, it does the job fast, fast, fast.
A few sprays onto a paper towel and a wipe down of the affected area followed by a wipe down with mineral spirits or (my favorite) CRC 3-36 to neutralize the acidic elements and you are good to go. The top may not look perfect but after all the stuff I have put it through for a dozen years . . . not bad.
