The deck was a "sea Green" but was oxidized heavily and covered in a milky
white.
After looking at all the options short of repainting the deck, I tried
Rubbimg Compound wax and a new gadget called the Black and Decker Mouse.
Working on the deck on small section at a time I buffed the blank out of
the deck and wholly molly, it really looked prety good!
Hope this helps,
