getting teak back to it's red colour

[scousespark]

I have some teak garden furniture which is looking a bit weather beaten.
It is 4 years old and has been teak oiled for the last 3 years.

Can somebody advise on how I can treat it to get it back to it's reddish colour, but also still be protected from the weather?

They use Oxalic acid on Teak yacht decks that brings them back to bright new. I think chandlers and places like Homebase sell stuff called teak restorer, which is similar stuff.

Could also try some wood oil with teak colouring (oil not stain). The Hickson stuff I usd for my deck says can use on garden furniture and I will be tackling our teak set with it soon

The boat stuff is a two op process. First is bleach by scrubbing with acid, next is a colouring agent scrubbed in. Easy with a big flat deck, not sure how youll get on with a garden bench.

ive always just mixed up a bucket and thrown it on, scrubbed which a deck scrubber.
