I re-finished some of the teak on my V. I cleaned the teak with 25% Clorox, 75% H2O, used teak brightener next, sanded with my ROS, and finished with Sikkens Cetol Natural Teak (satin finish). 3 coats of Cetol with 00 steel wool between each coat. I have used Cetol before, and if done properly, you don't have to recoat (steelwool and 1 or 2 coats on top of old finish) for about 3-4 years! That is open to the weather 24-7 for 9 months a year. I am now in the process of refurbishing the fiberglass rod boxes and will post pics when complete.

Great job geekie. I've got to refinish my teak pulpit soon, and I was looking into using the Cetol. By the looks of your stuff, I think I will definitely use it now.

Nice to see the pictures of how good the teak can look. Mine will never look that good. I can't seem to find the time to do it. Nice work :)

Thanks for the compliments! As you guys can see, I still have more teak to refinish. That isn't going to get done until next fall/winter. I can't wait to get some fish slime on the cuddy and bilge doors. I am going to finish the rod boxes this spring before splash time. I still have some trailer work to do but I always have some trailer work to do. However, I don't want the trailer to break on the 110 mile run to Cape May.
Tight lines, Geek
