The issue of touching up or doing smal repairs to a cabinet cn be something that takes a book to describe. I once did an hour presentation on that topic at AWA, and it wasn't enough to do it justice.

This set needs a small veneer graft, and a scratch or two covered. From the pictures, I don't think I'd want to refinish it though. Maybe they're hiding imperfections. I wish I could go into the necessary detail here to satisfy your needs to get these cabinets back in good shape.

In this case, I think that some scratch "remover" polish would help a lot, and the veneer graft done by some local guy with a touch or it. Best to clean the finish with an application of Go-Jo, or something similar will bring you long way. Whatever you do to any cabinet, don't use any kind of soaps and water.
