The Navy used to have a similar two part product. Tin#1 was called Holystone, and tin #2 was labelled Elbow Grease.

Ah, but surely tin 2 was a by-product of a ship full of bored JJTs without much to do when there were not guns to serve or foremaintopsailbuntinggasket halyards to reeve.

Thought you would be an oxalic acid man - cheaper to buy from the chemist and just as good as it's the basic ingredient in all teak brighteners

Holystone! You have been reading Patrick O'Brian or you're a hundred years older than you let on. ;-)

Treated my teak with 3 coats of one of those (good quality) teak furniture dressings I found in the bottom of a cupboard - in April - and its going grey again already. Surely it should last longer than that?
Am now considering sticking Treadmaster non-slip matting on top of the teak. Should I go for the beige or the pink?

I'd personally prefer carpet,ideal for lolling on during our long lazy summer days.
Also does away with the scrubbing,just bring the hoover.

Given that biege has been passé for at least 30 years, it'll have to be the pink.

I put it on in March in the cockpit which is left exposed to the weather. My teak is still golden couloured. I'll be using it again next season.
