Long time ago I got fed up with oil/sand/bleach/oil/sand/bleach quarterly
teak ritual. I epoxied my teak, clear primed epoxy and covered it with UV
preventing automotive clear coat. It is good for 2 years with light touch up
(spray on of acrylic).
I have not oiled teak in ages.

to use teak oil, but it didn't last long and I found I was spending an
awfully lot of time keeping it looking good. I have used the Interlux Clear
Clipper varnish (now Goldspar Varnish) for several years and I am very happy
with the results. I keep my Potter in the garage, so the finish literally
lasts for years. My Compac is in the water year round where it is exposed
to the weather. Every eight weeks I scuff the finished wood with steel wool
and apply another coat. That only takes about 20 - 30 minutes, and it keeps
it looking great year around. I actually believe that varnish is less work
than using teak oil, and I love the look. If I were you, I'd go for the
glossy finish.
