First question is about using Cetol. I've read in many posts that it's the way to go for my teak but I have a question. I noticed when I went to WM that Sikkens is made by Cetol. The PO used Sikkens and it was peeling bad and looked like crap. I just spent all day sanding it all off and removed the handrails and other inside trim to sand in the garage. Has the formula changed or can I look forward to it peeling after a few years and having to sand it again before re-treating? I also noticed there's a lot to choose from, which one looks the best or seems to be the most preferred?
Second, I want to paint my bilge. I think it's the original 30 y/o paint and is rubbed off in places and there is a spot about a 3 inch circle close to the port engine mount where it is bare glass fibers(nothing rubbing on it though, maybe the PO hit it when R&R the engine for the rebuild he did). Anyway 2 questions.
1. Is there a certain paint I should use for this?
2. What's the best degreaser I should use to make sure the paint adheres? I used purple power and the bilge looks way better but I can still see a sheen when I get it wet so I doubt paint will stick.
Thanks for any help.
