I did my kitchen, by using a cleaner degreaser on the doors. Rinsed off well, let dry. Then I very lightly sanded the doors. Cleaned off all the dust. Got minwax to match my finish. Then when that dry, I used polyacrylic.
Hi! I lightly sanded my cabinets by hand with sandpaper. I then cleaned my cabinets with Krud Krutter, applied a coat of primer and then painted with milk paint by General Finishes.

Give them a good wash down and apply a clear Polyurethane varnish.
Best wishes.
