Suggestion please, all of the teak below has lost its lustre, I remember years ago the teak was revived with a liquid for reviving Teak, I don’t want to alter the colour I just want to maintain the silky lustre that’s gone. If I remember correctly it was put on with a brush but wiped off immediately with a rag, left for 48 hrs whilst it dried to beautiful sheen, the smell wasn’t too overwhelming.
My question
Can anyone please tell me or suggest what I need to buyI think it was made by one of the big names
Thanks
Keith
 
Semco for outside on fresh teak is good, for inside I would try an ordinary furniture polish from a spray can before doing anything else...

Is this bare teak or has it been coated/varnished? Solid trim or teak veneer? Different finishes need different remedial work - and I don't think there is a magic "brush it on and wipe it off" treatment.
 
‘Patina’ by Langlow. Clean the surface, wipe it on with a lint free cloth and……. well, that’s it! Two coats recommended. Obviously makes sense to to try it in an unobtrusive area to make sure it’s the finish you want.

I’m assuming that you‘re working on a previously lacquered/varnished/finished surface.

Checking your details, I see you have a Sigma 362. This means you have a boat with a lacquered interior. The lacquer has probably gone cloudy with time. My Fulmar suffered this and the only solution is to strip back to bare wood and relacquer. This photo shows the difference with the starboard side been relacquered. I used Morrells 450 acid catalyst low odour high build up lacquer with 30% sheen. 5 litres with catalystb and 5 litres of thinners is about £60.
