Barlow TyrieTeak Color Guard

Barlow Tyrie Teak Color Guard will maintain the golden brown color of new teak by using UV inhibitors to prevent the natural greying process and pigment enhancers to help maintain the natural color of teak.

Please note: This product has a pigment which might affect the visual appearance of the furniture. We recommend applying the product first in an inconspicuous location (bottom of a chair or table) to ensure the Color Guard is suitable. Note that adding multiple coats will continue to change the color and appearance of how the product will look. Also, the condition of your wood (i.e. completely brand new, slightly weathered, etc.) could also affect the color of the protector when applied to teak furniture.

Instructions For Use

• Before using the Teak Cleaner, eye protection and rubber gloves should be worn. Cover the ground under your working area before cleaning.

• First moisten the furniture with water.

• Shake Teak Cleaner before use.

• Apply Teak Cleaner with a soft cloth or sponge. Allow to soak for three minutes.

• Brush the furniture clean with a scrubbing pad in the direction of the grain.

• Rinse furniture well with water.

• For prolonged color, leave the furniture to dry and treat with Barlow Tyrie's Teak Color Guard (product code: 4TCG) or Teak Stain Guard (product code: 4TSG).

• Before using Teak Color Guard, eye protection and rubber gloves should be worn. Cover the ground your work area before starting.
• Grey Teak or Teak treated with teak oil must first be cleaned with Teak Cleaner.
• New teak: first weather for 2 weeks outside before treatment.
• If cleaned wood feels rough, sand lightly before treating with Color Guard. Make sure the teak is 100% dry and free of dust.
• Shake and stir Teak Color Guard for at least a minute before use. Insufficient shaking can lead to uneven weathering.
• We suggest you try the Teak Color Guard on a small area first (e.g. the back of a leg) to judge if the color meets your expectations.
• Apply a very thin layer of Teak Color Guard evenly over the furniture with a dust free cloth. Apply a second very thin coat after 30 minutes drying time.
• It is recommended that you treat your furniture with Teak Color Guard at least once a year.
