Perfection plus two part varnish works well in Florida
Two maintenance coats once a year and it stays good

Re: Hand rail refinishing / finish repair question
As to color, Alwood does make a primer that has some color in it. I have never seen it before y it is available.

Re: Hand rail refinishing / finish repair question
Thanks to all for the input . I had sorta made up my mind I was going with Allwood … now I think my head is going to explode from reading and overthinking it. Definitely don’t want the orange tint look. Allwood does offer a yellow or red tinted primer but then I’d need a piece of identical teak to test on which I don’t really have. I guess I’ll wait till I have it sanded down and see how the wood looks before I make my final decision.

Re: Hand rail refinishing / finish repair question
Not sure if it's recommended or not, but I have dock neighbors and others that lay down a couple coats of Awlbrite on top of multiple coats of their favorite varnish. It's a 3-part system which is probably inconvenient but...just wanted to make a hard decision harder.

Re: Hand rail refinishing / finish repair question
I used 10 coats of awlbrite over tens coats of varnish (awlspar) , looks great , although 4 coats of varnish would have been enough. This is after 4 years in Miami.
