Our interior teak is in really good shape. Today we cleaned all the teak surfaces with no-scratch sponges and a spray bottle filled with water plus one teaspoon of murphy's woad soap and 1/8 cup of white vinegar. Once cleaned, everything was wiped down with a wet microfiber cloth, followed by getting dry wiped with a separate dry microfiber cloth. Afterwards we left our dehumidifier on continuous for the next 18 hours.
Even though the interior teak didn't look dirty before, it does look a little brighter now. The boat smells super clean and fresh as well. I'm glad we cleaned, but the oiling part is where I need a little advice from other Hunter owners.
Our owners manual recommends Dalys Seafin which we've already purchased. My question is how are most applying this oil to teak that already looks good, and are just trying to preserve as opposed to restoring the wood finish. My concern is with foam brush application of the oil running with the vertical surfaces. Do most just use a microfiber cloth, or foam brush followed by hand rubbing with a cloth, or something else altogether? Any teak perfectionists willing to share their expertise?
