If you need a little color added, wipe them as evenly as you can with oil based stain, gently wipe off excess 15-30 minutes later and topcoat with the Polycrylic the next day.
Since the wood is already sealed, the stain will act more like a glaze so be artistic when removing the excess.
The waterbased will stick to any existing finish as long as it is prepped properly.

Careful with that. Oil base stain must dry completely and many do not because its been applied to an existing top coat so it just sits on top and water base clear will not stick to it.
Hit it with 220 or 320 grit (I like 320) and see if some of the marks come off. If not the other trick is to build it up with a brush on the low spots (chipped or worn away finish) let dry and apply more on that spot and sand away a bit until flat, spray last coat or brush to finish.
