Progress on this has been slower than I would like due to real life.  Anyway, i finally got around to stripping.  First I tried just straight lacquer thinner.  It was working, but taking for ever.  So I moved on to citristrip.  That seemed to do the trick.  However, I'm left with 2 issues that I think need to be addressed before moving on to grain filling.

The first is that it looks like someone may have done some work on this cabinet in the past.  In a couple places are these odd looking zig zag scratches.  I'm assuming I should just take some 400 and then 800 grit to try and get them out.  There are some other scratches on it too.

The second is in side the grain, there is some white material left behind.  Not sure if this is some dried up citristrip that didn't come out or what.  unfortunately, an emergency came up and I had to let the stuff dry on the wood before I could get it totally off.  I gave it a wipe down with mineral spirits as recommended on the citristrip bottle, and also with thinner again.  it got some of it out, but there is still a fair amount left.  Its better in some spots (like this picture) and worse in others.  Is this going to be a problem?  Or any other ideas to get it out?
