Golden Care Teak Protector

Tested two chairs and bench with this product several years ago in comparison with a non-water based version. Hands down, this lasted longer! So, I am sanding and reprotecting all of my teak outside furniture with this product. NOTE: it does stain clothing if one drips on oneself, so I use "cleaning" clothes when I do this and put old rugs down on patio to prevent staining it. The table in photo I just finished; the bench is coming up. It had the same finish on it completed three years ago. I live in Bay Area, northern CA. Prior years I had covered the furniture in winter: this past year I did not.

Worked great to renew our old teak yard furniture. My wife did all the work but after sanding and covering with this, the table and chairs look like new.

Outstanding results on a teak table with the product.

Easy application without the nuisance of smells and or difficult cleanup. Nice warm light color but not too deep brown.

While this product did an excellent job improving the appearance of my older teak furniture, I would definitely recommend other users to use a foam brush rather a cloth for application. It’s easier, faster, more effective, and there is less waste of the product.

Product as described, packaged appropriately, fast ship.

Excellent protection and a really nice color!

I didn't get the 'Golden Care' brand, but I believe that one manufacturer makes the same product and sells it under several different brand names for furniture stores, so it didn't bother me at all.I bought a new teak patio set, assembled it and let it sit outside for 2-3 months (I read somewhere that you should let it be outside for at least 2 weeks before applying a protectant like this). I then washed the set with a soft brush and a bit of Dawn dishwashing liquid, hosed it down and let it dry for a day before getting up early to beat the heat and applying the product. I ran a fine grit sandpaper block over rough patches of wood or areas where there was a bit of staining first. It took me 2 hours to do 6 chairs and a large table, but the product went on easily and I still have 1/2 bottle left for next time.I took the photos during and immediately after the application process. The darker, golden-orange areas were the 'after treatment' shots. The lighter wood areas are the 'before'.It has been about 2 months since applying the protectant now. The set isn't as beautiful-golden as it was right after application, but it definately isn't silvering out like unprotected teak. I'm very happy with the product and will buy it again.---------EDIT: I came back to leave a review and found my review from 8 years ago! I come back every 2 years and use a teak cleaner/brightner product and then apply a coat of this protectant (2 coats on the top as it gets lots of UV exposure). I just added 2 new photos after this year's cleaning (of a now 8 year-old table). The 2 photos that have green at the top of them are the 8 year-old table photos... the others are of the table when it was new. It's hard to tell the difference!I'll keep using this stuff. It does a great job. I might start adding a coat of it every spring with a cleaning/brightening/protectant treament every other year.
