Well, maybe only 1 or 2.

My previous owner did not touch the teak (interior or exterior). The exterior appeared to have no previous finish, yet was severly weathered. The interior has a definite stain or oil on it, yet I have no idea what. It was my intention to use Teak Oil on the interior. Actually already bought some. So, now I am curious about the best way to attack it. As for the interior pieces around the entrance (steps, interior hatch glides, etc.) they have all been removed and are waiting attention. I was just going to lightly sand with 220 or higher, then apply oil. Any thoughts on this?

I guess it depends on how serious a job you want to do. If the interior teak is clean, I would just go with the teak oil and be done. Mind you - this at least a twice a season chore. Also - beware what kind of teak oil you buy. My sense of smell is really bad. Soon after one of my clean up the boat sesions, my wife commented on how the boat now smelled like a pimp mobile. Once she said that I started picking up on the coconut fragance throughout the boat. I never knew they made scented teak oil.... Read the entire label before applying.

As for the exterior - check out Cetol light. It gave my pimp mobile a little "Bling-Bling".

Well, currently the interior trim is in good shape and I might just leave it as-is.

think I will go ahead with the teak oil on the stairs and interior companionway teak.
