Star brite Premium Teak Brightener - Step 2, 32 oz Wood Grain Restorer for Teak Furniture and Boat Decks
Star brite Premium Teak Brightener - Step 2, 32 oz Wood Grain Restorer for Teak Furniture and Boat Decks
Star brite Premium Teak Brightener - Step 2 restores the warm, natural color and grain of weathered teak and other fine woods. Formulated as the second step in the teak restoration process, it highlights wood grain and enhances the golden tone of teak that has turned gray from sun and weather exposure. Use it on outdoor and indoor teak furniture, boat decks, and other fine wood surfaces. The formula is designed to prepare wood for oiling without the need for sanding, and it will not harm surrounding fiberglass or painted surfaces, making it a practical choice for boat owners working around gelcoat and painted trim.
Application is simple: the easy-to-use liquid requires no rubbing or scrubbing. Apply it to the wood and rinse, and the brightening action goes to work restoring the color beneath the gray, weathered layer. It is intended to follow a teak cleaning step, and once the wood is brightened it is ready for a protective oil or sealer. Each bottle holds 32 fluid ounces, enough to treat a substantial area of decking or furniture.
