Depending on depth of damage, you want to remove any existing clearcoat and sand out the dings, blemishes directly unless you're looking to change the colour of the unit you'll want to attempt to preserve the colour underneath (not always possible) if you're restaining you want to be very diligent about removing all the clear coat. Otherwise your finish will come out mottled.
Don't use a power sander to remove the finish, a hand sanding will allow you more control and finesse over the final look.
To reapply clear, don't use rollers, ideally you want to spray it for the best finish, otherwise your next bet is to use a foam applicator. Be sure to not shake the clearcoat before application this will create bubbles in the finish you can't get out. Stir it gently, ensure you leave no applicator lines.
After 24 hrs give finish a light sand with a high grit paper and reapply a second coat.
Voila new furniture.
People say they all want the truth, but when they are confronted with a truth that disagrees with them, they balk at it as if it were an unwanted zombie apocalypse come to destroy civilization.
