We recently used Simple Green and a dobie pad to clean off the teak bulkhead prior to refinishing--it worked fine. I bought TSP but never used it.
I am a firm believer in EPIFANES varnish. I used 2 base coats of gloss (because it has UV inhibitors) and the 2 coats of rubbed effect satin finish varnish on top. I lightly sanded between coats with decreasing grit size. It came out fantastic.
