I had a problem with a fiberglass door.

I took off as much stain as I could with brush cleaner and then restained
with a gel stain by Old Masters. Looked great when redone.

The minwax gel stain made a mess for me.

I've bought two unfinished oak veneer interior doors (Jeld-Wen).
Neither stained well; splotches around the rail/stile glue lines with
some extending out over the face.

Is there something to clean these doors with prior to staining? I
don't want to sand the veneer too vigorously.
