How can I clean these spots off a dresser without repainting?

How.... Does anyone have any ideas on cleaners I might use to get these spots off a second hand dresser. I have no idea what it is but suspect some kind of overspray from something. I have tried TSP and it made no difference. I am trying not to repaint. There are several places the spots appear and the whole front is messy, never uniform no matter what I try to clean and shine it with.Thanks in advance 😁
Take the knobs off, and deliberately fleck paint onto the whole area. It will look like a high end marbleized finish. I['ve used an old toothbrush. Practice on a piece of cardboard first

Try a small area with, vinegar, rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover, mineral spirits, and/or WD40.
Thanks William, I will try each one of these.
You can also use a dark wax, like Minwax or Briwax to clean the dresser.
It looks like spray from Pledge or some kind of furniture polish.
You could dry brush paint or stencil a lace pattern.
