Can anyone recommend Endeavor Teak Oils and Waxes?

After 8 years of being in a harsh enviroment our teak decking on the boat needs something to protect it. I have cleaned it with oxalic over the weekend in preperation to put something on it, but not sure what. I have used teak oil in the past on previous boats and it just makes the teak very sticky and greasy. What do other people use ?

TIA

Rustins Teak Oil

Rustins Teak oil got top marks in tests run by PBO. This is a domestic product and was better than the marine products they tested (not including Endeavour).
I've used it on my cockpit seats, coaming etc. and and have found it better than anything else I've tried.
It uses cobalt based hardener which seems to make it dry pretty fast. Its cheaper than marine products and you get it from DIY stores.
Note - my teak is solid and reasonably thick. I have not tried it on any of the teak -ply type of products.

I'm trying Danish Oil from a hardware shop this year, after being recommended it from various sources. 2-3 coats go on easily, it dries to a hard finish and can even be burnished. Contains Tung oil which is the magic ingredient to look for on the bottle. About £5 to £7 per half litre.
Endeavour oil was mentioned a few months ago if you want to seek out some old threads on the subject, but I've never used it.
