Product recommendation - teak decks

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.

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.
