OrangeGlo will revive dull cabinets. If you have build up, clean with a degreaser first.
If you don't like the color of them, I would paint them a fresh coat of white paint to lighten up your kitchen and the overall look of them. You could also get new hardware. There is a lot of posts on Hometalk for refinishing kitchen cabinets.

More information could be helpful.
For example if your cabinets or wood tone polyshades might be the product for your refresher needs.
Here’s a link to look over the content and see if it’s a product that will meet your needs. It can be applied over existing existing poly finishes without any stripping or sanding. I find reviews and Q&A’s can often direct me towards the correct purchase. Hope this helps.
