Sure nothing beats the look of freshly oiled teak, but reality is that it only looks that way for a minority of the time which is for a couple of weeks once or twice a year. I thought TeakGuard would last longer, but it only looks good a little longer the teak oil. I know what has to be done to keep teak loooking good, but to be honest I would rather spend my time on other things so this winter I want to convert it to a maintenance free platform. I know that some will think that covering up teak ranks right up there with spray painting grafiti on the vatican doors, but after years, know myself well enough that I will not spend the time to keep it looking like it should. I have read posts about rhino and line-x but not sure I want that rough or a surface and am trying to consider other options.
My first impulse would be to use some deck stain. That would preserve a 'teak look' and my decks look pretty good for at least a year with a fresh coat of stain on them, but not sure how that will tanslate to teak on a swim platform. Anyone have experience?
Another thought, Non-Skid Top Coat paint? See links. I have seen these used on sailboats and they look good, but not sure how they would hold up as a coat for a swim platform. Color Suggestions if I head that route? Boat is a naked Centurion that is off-white and Kawi green bottom. See profile.
Other options?
