Here is a job I started using Mohawk Finish Up. Will post after photos next week.
 
1. Work out of truck in driveway.
 
2. Items needed, Festool Ro 125 sander w/ evaq. unit, Festool 280 grit fiber disk to clean cabinet doors w/ Simple Green, dry, then use Mineral Spirits for final cleaning. Festool Brilliant grits 100, 125, 150 to level checking ( use Festool concentric mode setting then switch to random orbital to remove any sanding swirls between grits.)
 
320 to scuff sand between 3 coats of Finish Up Satin on doors w/ Transtint Honey Amber added to color match to existing cabinet carcass ( carry small bottle of flat and gloss Finish Up to mix and adjust sheen if needed on satin. ) I use a foam brush to apply Finish Up. Cut out dark mineral stains with razor and chisel and use Mohawk toostie roll to fill.
 
Will faux finish using Konig Oak grain marker ( knock down color w/ 320 paper if to glossy ) in damaged area . Let all repaired doors dry 30 minutes between coats of Finish Up. Scuff sand interior cabinet carcass using Festool sander w/ eqvac (look Ma, no dust ! ) 400 grit. Apply Finish Up being careful as now on a vertical surface using a water base product that is very thin in viscosity.
 
Cost of supplies about $75. Time needed for job 3 days. Profit $1600. Hope I did not leave any thing out. Any questions ? Last jpeg photo is avg. condition of doors needing repair and refinishing.
