How do you remove old English oil polish from panling to paint?
Unfortunately, because Old English is an oil based product with dark stain in it, you will not be able to remove it from the paneling. However, if you are wanting to paint the paneling, the best thing to do would be to apply a 'stain killer' to the paneling first, such as Kilz, available at your local hardware or paint store. This also works well to block any 'stain' that is on your walls before painting, such as lipstick, ink, pencil, etc. and prevent the stain from bleeding through the new paint.

Why is the satinwood paint easily scraping off newly painted chairs?
the underlying surface may be very shiny or slick. If the chairs were varnished stain, or had some kind of clear smooth finish the new paint will seem to scratch off with a fingernail. Get some medium sandpaper and rough up the shine, this will give the paint something to stick to.
Can you stain a deck on top of oil paint?
You should check the label on the specific product you're planning to use. If the label states it will adhere to wood with an existing coating, then it's fine to use even over an oil-based stain. (This is because once thoroughly dried, oil-based stains behave the same as water-based stains.) Some products, however, will require the existing stain to be stripped from the wood, or to apply a primer coat over the existing finish before applying new stain.

Will sanding the old stain off a maple piece of furniture work if wanting to stain a new color?
In order to stain your filing cabinet a new color you will have to prepare it first. You will have to strip the old finish off and then sand the wood and prime it so it is ready to accept the new color. If you don't want to do all of the prep work you could look for a primer paint and then an oak color and try painting over it, but it will not look nearly as nice as it will if you strip it, prepare it and stain it.
How do you keep paint on wood siding?
Short answer -- you do not: stain is preferred over wood siding because it is more easily touched up or repaired in later years. New paint on new wood requires a primer, thus at least two coats overall (primer and colour coat), sometimes three: and repair of cracked or blistered old paint requires sanding down to bare wood, and then primer and new colour coat to match. By contrast, stain needs no primer and old stain can be easily touched up, i.e. a new patch featured into the surrounding old stain. This doctrine is partly theoretical, and the old theory was that (oil) paint formed a waterproof skin over the wood (bonded to it by the primer) whereas stain penetrated into the wood surface -- hence different repair techniques. The gradual disappearance of oil paint (and oil-based stains) and improvement of latex/alkyd paints means the chemistry of these two products nowadays overlaps. But it seems still generally true that, for wood siding after say five years' weathering, stain finish can be restored to look new for much less labour than paint finish can be restored to look new.

I have an outdoor table that is starting to look old, what can I do to refresh its look since I don't want to buy a new one?
Start by powerwashing the table to get rid of any mildew, rust, dirt, or chipped paint. If it is metal, you could apply a fresh new coat of paint. If the table is made of wood, you could re-stain it so it looks like new, either in its original color or in a brand new stain color..
How do you refinishing old hollow core interior doors?
It depends if you are wanting to stain or merely paint a door. If you want to stain it, you need to strip it to bare wood with chemicals.
