Have a solid teak front door and protect it with teak oil. I would like to use something a little longer lasting. The oil needs to be redone every couple of months and the door is still fading. I don't want to use a stain seeing as it is solid teak and not sure if varnish will last outside. Can anyone recommend anything they have used?
 
There is a product on the market and the make is Sikkens, it is a two part process simular to what the old sadolins was, a base coat (1 needed) and a top coat (2 to 3 needed) which has a UV Filter in it. Light Oak is lovely on teak as you can see the lovely grains of timber with it.
 
if it's looking grey, make sure to scrape/sand it back before putting anything on it. I've used bondex or sadolin in the past, usually lasts a couple of years.
