for light work i use the west marine One Step Teak Cleaner/Brightener. this
works OK if you don't have much graying and don't wish to remove much of the
current sealer (i use seafin).
for getting down to 'fresh' wood i use the west marine Heavy Duty Teak
Cleaner Kit. this removes seafin and really makes the wood look like new.
trick to using the above - use lots of water (to keep the chemicals from
doing any damage to the gelcoat) and work in small batches.
i don't use varnish nor other 'modern' finishes. just many coats of daly's
seafin teak oil. reasons:
* warmer color
* easy to apply
* easy to clean (when dry)
* easy cleanup (just toss the rag used to apply)
* easy to fix rubs/dings - not like varnish that you have 'age' issues and
lap-lines.
i feel i know teak. family owned a '79 32' cheoy lee. that boat HAD teak.
