Teak maintenance

[TammiGoddard]

For those of you whose teak cabinets are unfinished (no hard finish) I'd like to suggest the product that I use to maintain the teak on Cloud Nine. When we bought the boat it was 4 years old and nothing had ever been done to the teak. It was very bleached and looked very dry. Just by accident I happened on a product that easily restored the finish to a lovely glow. The product is called Cabin Wood Care and is made by Williamsville Products. One bottle has lasted me for 5 years. 
The product looks and feels like lotion you'd put on your hands. I apply it liberally to the teak with an old sock. If it gets on the fiberglass, just wipe it off. It has no color and does no harm.  The teak drinks it up and the color deepens to a cherry tone. I apply the cream to all the teak in the boat at the end of the season. Takes about 1/2 hour. (The 1st time took longer cause the wood soaked up so much more cream). It smells nice, makes my skin soft and the teak just loves it. It makes the teak quite water resistant, but if I notice a few water spots during the summer, I just dab a little product on it and they vanish. 
I've just re-ordered myself a bottle and here is the link. Williamsville Products now belongs to another company - H.F. Staples - but Cabin Wood Care is still available (thank goodness). I've just started using it on some antiques in our home too.

Here's the only photo I could find showing a bit of the teak on Cloud Nine - so you can see the way the wood looks with Cabin Wood Care on it.

I took Tammi's advise & ordered the Cabin Wood Care product.  Our boat is basically new, but the teak was dry.  After applicaation, the teak looked much better.  I'm very happy with the results & ease of application. Thanks Tammi.

Finally got around to useing "cabin wood care"(that I had bought over a year ago) on all the teak.  Great stuff.  Goes on easily with no mess.  In our opinion the teak looks better than new.  More of a cherry look to it.
  I've really got to learn how to post pictures on websites. :-)

So glad that the product worked out well for both of you. I'm usually not much of a sales person.....but I liked that cabin wood cream SO MUCH that my enthusiasm must of just leaked out.
