What does one use on the interior teak to preserve the finish?

Frank, my personal preference (and that of a lot of folk on this forum) is Howard's Restor-a-Finish. Easy to apply, nice smell and makes the teak shine!

There are lots of choices Frank. I've used Deks Olje II (gloss) for many years with good results.

My first mate recommends "Liquid Gold", easy to apply and looks great

I'm somewhat unorthodox and use boiled linseed oil. I like the feel of it, and the water resistance. What I don't know is how it lasts over time...(years)

Derek: Do you also use Howard's on the companionway steps, where moisture seems to be a constant issue? How does it do?

I've used boiled linseed oil on wooden tool handles - it has a tendancy to darken over the years. Freshly applied it has a strange odor that tend to linger for a while.

Dave - I have Cetol and non-skid strips on the companionway steps. The rest of the inside teak is done with Howard's.

I refinished all of the interior wood on Quiet Time with Cetol. I figure that since it lasts 2 or 3 years in direct sun, it should be good for at least 10 years inside the cabin. If you use it inside, make sure you have a lot of ventilation as the fumes are pretty strong.
