Refinish teak over Awlgrip
My Awlgrip decks look gorgeous! Now it's time to refinish the teak.

Unfortunately I've heard that teak cleaners/bleaches with potassium hydroxide or oxalic acid are bad for the Awlgrip. And I can't remove all the teak, much as I'd like to.

Can anyone confirm or refute that these cleaners will damage Awlgrip?

If so, what should I do to brighten the teak before varnishing? I don't like to sand much because it isn't a long-term solution because the teak just gets smaller.

Thanks,
Jack
