Question:

Our home is 16 years old and the oak cabinets are looking rather tired. Short of refinishing, is there anything that i can use (i.e. a polish or wax) that will help them regain some of their beauty and richness.

Answer:

Very often just wiping them off with a paint thinner will bring back the original colour but if that doesn't do it, I'm afraid you're into re-finishing.
