We upgraded our kitchen but left the old old cabinets. They are old but in
good shape, so they didn't seem woth the expense of replacing. Could anyone
recomment some cleaner/polish, etc that I could use to give them a bit of
revitalization?

Thanks.

Personally, I don't like the glossy wet-look of "Liquid Gold" but you
may like this. If your cabinets are not painted, I'd use BriWax. It
comes in 6 colors including neutral for about $14 can. It cleans,
covers up scratches, and waxes in one step. If you just want to clean
your cabinets, use mineral spirits then follow up with a paste wax.

Phisherman mentioned some good ideas. I'll add that having your
cabinets refaced or resurfaced is an option, as well. My dad had his
done, and the effect was amazing. It was almost like getting brand
new cabinets.
