Refinishing teak


Billy V

Recommended Posts

I have a little bit of exterior teak trim on my hardtop that needs some attention. It's turned gray and needs to be cleaned and brightened, but what do I put on it after I clean/brighten? I definitely don't want to put old-school teak oil back on it. I'm not up for removing it each year to re-finish it. I've heard that Sikkens makes a good teak protectant, and I've also heard about a product called Teak Guard. Does anyone have any experience with either of these products or another good one?

Here's a couple of pics of the teak before it came off the hardtop:

The teak on top is before I did anything to it, in the middle is after I cleaned/brightened/ and the bottom is immediately after I put the first coat of Cetol on it:

I'll post some pics of the finished work after it's back on the boat. Probably be a week or two before I get back up there. Thanks again for the input.
