Lighting and angle makes a difference in how obvious these splotches are. From some angles they all but disappear and from others they are obvious.

I had a few spots like that when working on my 38-8 cabinet. I sanded lightly with 800 grit sandpaper to ensure it was smooth, and just hoped toner would cover it. It did, looks fine now- you can't even tell.
