Getting rid of water stain marks & redoing floors

Post by bccanucker »

We had a thread talking about this some time ago but I can't find it. We were talking about getting rid of water marks.
While working on some totally unrelated boat projects this winter I came across the Howard company from California.
I started using their butcher block products and their Restor A Finish product peaked my interest.
Take a look at the video marked "Demonstration" at the bottom of this webpage
http://www.howardproducts.com/
I have also found other companies that seem to make similar products.
Have any of you used products like this on your teak and floors?

I too would love to know the answer to this bbcanucker. I see this as a project quickly approaching for me as well.

We have found that the Howard's Restor A Finish works!!!
More than just getting rid of the white marks Gaylene has found that it does a great job on the interior teak. She has taken on the job of doing the complete inside teak of the Blue Heron. It removes dirt and brightens the teak and leaves a shine. She has been applying it using inside out white sport socks of mine.
We have here in BC had a July of no rain. We've been out on the boat since June 27th and part way through she started a section of the salon and kept going. It takes a good product for her to get this enthused.
We're home till Monday. Had to get hair cuts. :D

What color Howards Restor A Finish did you use for the interior teak?

Thanks so much for the update Roy. I have ordered my first Howards Restore A Finish to try it out! Very excited to see how it works on my interior teak.

Good call. We tried it and liked it. We are also users of their beeswax polish to maintain the exterior teak on our trawler. Eliminated the need for varnish.
