The finish/stain on the companionway doors on my 2012 B40 are fading and need something. I would like top keep the original satin finish. Benetau told me the stain they use is proprietary, and not available to purchase. I am not a fan of Cetol or other shiny finishes. Any suggestions?

I use TeaQua on my rails and companionway doors. I've only had to apply it once to the doors since the original oil faded. I do my rails in the spring. Just a quick sand and rub it on.

Paul,

I heard about TeaQua, but I can't find it to purchase. I was told its no longer made.  Where do you get it?

Hi Gary, honestly I haven't tried purchasing it since I bought my 2 quarts. I'm only half way into the first quart after 2 years. Of course I store it properly (or so I think) so I'm hoping to have enough for another 3-4 years. 

Sorry if I gave you false hope here but if you can find some you might like like it. The finish is easy to maintain, nice colour and no shine like varnish (which I also prefer).

Good luck

Hi Gary:

I use SEMCO Teak Sealer on my 2011 B40 which came with the boat from the dealer.

It's reapplied every spring and the wood looks great all summer!

We use a product called TeakGuard from AllGuard on all of the teak on our B40.

It's water based. Goes not easy. 3 coats at the beginning of the season and we're done.

I'll second the Teak Guard recommendation although i wouldn't use it on the toe rails as it's water based it will wash out rather quickly. Otherwise the cockpit seats get a coating a couple of times a year and look great.
