Sounds like just sanding and recoating wont bring it back, I would use a gel type stripper it is easily contained and wont splash all over. Then sand with fine sand paper, at this point you can decide to leave it natural or bring out the grain with a stain. I always use polyurethane for the finish two or three coats. You have the choice between high gloss or satin.
IS THE CURRENT FINISH WEATHERED OR PEELING THE TOP COAT?
IF WEATHERED AS U SAID THEN LIGHT SANDING BETWEEN COATS SHOULD DO.
USE 220 GRIT PAPER OR BETTER OR 0000 STEEL WOOL BETWEEN COATS.

I would prefer not to remove the door. The door is quite weathered a chemical stripper is best here or just sand away. Then refinish help too. Thanks.
