Restoring the finish to cabinets

It depends, of course, on how mistreated the cabinets are. Something as simple as a lemon oil furniture polish may do. We used up two bottles in doing three coats on our '63. If you want higher gloss, you might use a Danish oil refinishing product from Formsby. They also have a more agressive Refinishing formula. If you want to seal the surfaces from all moisture and give a high gloss, you might use a water based urethane varnish. If you want to just protect a very wet prone area, a solvent based varnish may be your answer. To keep the unit as pure as possible, limit yourself to the soak in oils. The finished product looks nice.
