Here is how General Finishes recommends prepping projects with existing finish. "Scuff clean with a Scotch Brite pad and a 50:50 mix of denatured alcohol and water. Dry 1-2 hours. Avoid cleaning with products containing phosphates (salt), which can linger in the substrate and produce a white haze. If your project requires a deeper cleaning, see Power Prep Cleaning Highly Used Existing Finishes below. Sand lightly with a fine-grade (220-320) foam sanding pad.
