I made a pair of water hardened vambraces, and in one spot, the leather is white and mottled. It looks like the 'blossoming' effect you get on the surface of leather that's not been used in a while, but it's not something that can be wiped off with a damp cloth.

I tried re-applying my beeswax and neatsfoot oil compound, redying the spots, and buffing, but nothing removed this 'scorched' area. I'm thinking about antiquing stain next, but I was hoping someone else may have some advice on this first.

Deglazer, then dye (or re-dye) with a darker color. You may need to spot dye the 'scorched' area to try to even out the color.
