My eyebrows were taken right back less than 12 months ago, then given lots of coats of varnish, but looking at then today I have big pieces of varnish flaking off and it looks poor. The tender coming on and off knocks the varnish about.

It needs to be completely redone, I'm thinking of changing to an oil for the exterior teak and just reoiling regularly.

Whats the suggested brand and type for low effort brightwork?
