We finish with Howard Feed & Wax, a beeswax/orange oil polish
conditioner. The teak drinks it up. Smells great too! We use it
everywhere on Alera and on the furniture at the house.

Once a year is enough. Sometimes I find some whitish mold starting in
some out of the way area and that will be cleaned as described then
and there so it doesn't grow bigger. But each Spring, I try and wipe
down the whole boat before setting out all the cushions. I don't oil
the whole boat, I only add oil when I see an area is fading or looks
dry, and a little goes a long way. FWIW, The same can of Watco oil
has lasted twenty years.

Chuck or anyone else,
We oiled the teak in the forepeak for the fist time last September,
after removing 20+ yo varnish [a tedious job to say the least.] How
often do you clean the oiled teak as you described? Each spring as
part of your spring commissioning? And as needed during the season?
Any other oiled teak cleaning magic potions?
A teak oil newbee…
Thanks,
Brian

I use Watco Teak oil available at Home Depot and Lowes if that's what
your referring to. I usually wipe the wood down with a cleaner like
diluted Pinesol in a spray bottle. Then I clean the wood with
Denatured Alcohol and let dry. Then use a soft terry cloth rag to
wipe on some teak oil. Let soak in and wipe off any excess. It
seals the wood and hides any dings and makes look very nice.

looking at it on Loews and Home Depot. No time to look myself

Hi Chad,
I sanded mine down and used Cetol. It lasted a good 15
years or so until I refinished again last year with the same
stuff.

It's matte and not a varnish. Maybe an oil?
