lot of guys use the coatings like skunk & spare mentioned. i worry about if you don't like it, pia to get off. plus some a little aggressive on bare feet and possibly hot also.

i think destroyer used a coating on his deck and is very pleased, maybe he'll add some insight

i used the cetol marine gloss on my teak. i also think the high gloss holds up better than semi or satin.

I used U-Pol Raptor Truck bed liner (Like Rhinoliner). It's great. No staining, no pealing, easy wash off with my pressure washer, looks like brand new and it's 3 years old already. Soft on the bare feet, GREAT non skid properties. Fills in and seals cracks when applying. Only thing I might say is I wouldn't want to try removing it. It comes in a variety of stock colors or you can tint it to almost anything your heart desires. I tinted mine to light tan and I'm super happy with it. You can find it on eBay easy enough. Just type in U-Pol and hit search. Not cheap, and it took 3 kits to cover my deck, so figure between $300-$400 for the job. And like everything else, preparation beforehand is the key to a good job. You can see my results by doing a search of these forums. Go here for some pics of the restoration and the deck after it was done. http://www.wellcraftv20.com/communit...ight=Destroyer
