Just to add my two cents....
I started with Sikkens Cetol Marine, and I have to say I'll never use it again! WHy? It has a terrible orange color, flakes with age, and is a SOB to refinish when it gets old and ragged looking. I do understand it now comes in different tints which I have not tried.
Switched to Deks Olje and I can't say enough good things about it. Gives teak a nice warm glow, lasts for a good 2 years, and if you refinish before it's in too bad a shape, it's a gem to do. Simply sand any really badly abraided areas, then hand rub with Deks #1 on a rag, wait a few days and recoat with Deks #2 and looks just about brand new!
If it's really ragged, sand it bare and start again with Deks #1, follow the directions, wait a few days and top coat with Deks #2
But the trick is take your time do it right the first time and keep after it every couple years and it's simple to maintain a sweet looking boat.
And yes you do need to top with #2 if you want it to both shine and last. be aware that it is a high gloss finish, but it is also the key to easy maintanence IMHO.
I noticed someone said it was very slipperry on deck... I have not found it to be that bad myself and certainly not worse then others.
