I agree on all those points Andy, I cut my teeth scrubbing teak decks on large power boats and I saw how they aged. My point was simply, that by doing this, you can extend the life greatly between having to redo the decks, which can be horrendously expensive. When they are allowed to age naturally, especially in the tropics, they don't last all that long. I guess I'm preaching to the choir !Some fellow I sold some Spinnakers to, (I think he was from Nova Scotia) was captain of the Ticonderoga and he said that used Deks ole. And with tons of people walking on them he said it gave it a really nice finish.

Chemical cleaners take years off the life of a teak deck. Oil also takes away from the wonderful non skid properties of a teak deck.
