Waterlox, a tung oil-based finish, is generally not recommended to be applied directly over lacquer. This is because lacquer has a different chemical composition and may not bond well with oil-based finishes, potentially leading to adhesion issues and an uneven appearance. If you want to apply Waterlox over a lacquer finish, it's advisable to lightly sand the lacquer surface to create a better mechanical bond. Always conduct a test on a small area first to ensure compatibility.

Can you apply a wax coat over a polyurethane finish?
A general rule of thumb is "clean, dry, and dull" for coating over an existing finish. The clean and dry is self explanatory, and the dull can be achieved by sanding with a suitable abrasive. A more suitable alternative to recoating existing lacquer would be a polymerized Tung Oil like Waterlox. Waterlox will give a "rejuvenating" sheen, excellent moisture resistance, and much easier future maintenance than either a lacquer or a polyurethane.
