Teak finish

I use Watco clear matte teak oil on my Chris Craft dory. Took a summer sun light beating well. Clean your teak well first , then brush it on with a chip brush. Let it soak in. Do not rub it in or off . Wait till it gets tacky dry and apply second coat. Let that dry 24 hrs. Then apply two more coats and you should like what you see. It gives the teak a nice uniform matte finish, with out filling the grain so you can still walk on it when it gets wet. In the fall I put on another coat to keep it up...no sanding between coats is need btw.. You can get it at most Home Improvement stores etc.

I tried Starbrite Tropical Teak Oil on some of my teak 2 years ago and it's still looking good today. Granted I'm in Seattle and don't get punishing lower latitude sun and heat but the finish is holding up well. I like that it's matte and very subtle and let's the teak look like teak.

Cetol has improved no end from the orange goop I first used 20 years ago. Now so good I leave it untouched for 3 seasons.

I used to use amazon teak oil on my Egg covering boards. The more you apply the more difficult to remove. but a coat in the spring and then early fall usually allowed me to clean and reapply pretty easily. Remember any oil will attract dirt. I did my cockpit sole with a little bleach and soap mixed with water, never oil
