With \u003cstrong\u003eTeak Protector Vintage\u003c\/strong\u003e, you choose the dark brown Golden Care color variant for teak and hardwood. The treatment is intended to care for that chosen wood color. The bottle contains 1000 ml; the preparation and a test on your own wood remain the basis of the result.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAssessing a dark brown appearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGolden Care describes Vintage as a dark brown finish. The brochure associates this shade with the appearance of older and reused teak. That helps in choosing a style, but does not yet tell how your existing table will look. For that, look at the current color, the weathering, and any previous treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMake the color test on a small, inconspicuous part that is prepared in the same way as the rest. Let the test dry and view the shade in daylight. For a piece of furniture with different wood parts, it is wise to assess more than one starting situation. This way you can see if Vintage matches the image you have for your set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eClean, dry wood as a starting point\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst check how the furniture was previously treated. Do not apply a Golden Care Colour Protector directly over an oil layer. First clean weathered or previously oiled teak with \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/teak-cleaner\"\u003eTeak Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e according to the instructions. Rinse off the cleaner and let the wood dry completely. For new teak, also follow the prescribed preparation; new wood is not automatically ready for a color treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGolden Care calls completely dry and dust-free wood as a basis. Prepare a rough surface as necessary according to the product and furniture instructions and remove the dust. Protect the work area and wear the gloves and eye protection mentioned on the label. Then do the color test on a small, inconspicuous part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplying thin layers gently\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eShake the bottle well for at least one minute. Apply Vintage with a soft, lint-free cloth thinly and evenly. The Dutch Golden Care instructions describe a second thin layer after 30 minutes for this variant. In case of deviating instructions, follow the label of your bottle. Carefully distribute the treatment over the wooden parts that you treat according to the instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to applying, also plan time to let the furniture dry. Observe the prescribed drying time before using it again, exposing it to the elements, or performing a follow-up step. The drying time between two layers and the waiting time for another product are separate moments; check both on the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eComparing Vintage with other dark shades\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithin the Golden Care color line, Wengé and Charcoal are also available. Vintage is called dark brown, Wengé has a coffee to black-brown color direction, and Charcoal makes the wood black. So choose based on the desired color shade. You do not need to consider a dark finish of another variant as mutually interchangeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a gray appearance, Instant Grey is another color route. If you want to treat the natural patina gray appearance with a water- and dirt-repellent, then check Shield. By first choosing the desired color and then the additional protection, it becomes clear which steps you need and how you plan the maintenance treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eColor maintenance and a possible Shield step\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGolden Care describes the combination first the Colour Protector and then \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/teak-shield\"\u003eTeak Shield\u003c\/a\u003e. Let the color treatment dry for 24 hours according to the current manufacturer information before applying Shield. In addition, check the instructions of both bottles. Shield provides the transparent water- and dirt-repellent step; it is not a replacement for choosing and preparing the color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor color maintenance, Golden Care mentions at least one treatment per year. In between, assess the condition of the wood and follow the preparation and the bottle instructions again when repeating.
