He was probably using a neutral Por-O-Pac. I followed that entire restoration when they did it and even responded a few times. It was a plethora of information..
Sanding will clog the paper unless you really removed the excess. Do not use steel wool. It will take out the grain filler. I start with 220 and go up using a block. How are you at spraying? If you can gloss coat it with little effort then go up to 2000 if need be. If you are not a perfect sprayer then don't bother extra fine sanding the cabinet as you will be sanding the finish between coats anyway.
I used to finish up to 2000 and then lacquer. Then I would sand to rottenstone all over again. Now I just lightly sand with 400 before clearing the cabinet. The elbow grease goes in after lacquer when it cures.
