Image
  When should I use Golden Care Instant Grey Vs. White Wash? A few times recently we have received this question an here is the answer: Golden Care Instant grey  works best on furniture that has been somewhat exposed to the sun. A basic requirement before applying G.C.Instant grey is to clean the furniture. Instant Grey gives the furniture an almost solid grey colour. The application is much more unforgiving than the other Golden Care products. To clarify that statement, Golden Care products are normally reasonably easy to apply without getting streaks or patchy finish, Instant Grey is different. A classic mistake is to try to rectify mistakes and imperfections and then finding yourself making it worse and worse. Golden Care Instant Grey Cleans up nicely Golden Care White Wash  on the other hand is very forgiving and super easy to apply.

Image
  What is Nano Technology Shield for Teak Tables and why would I need it? Isn’t Teak so rich in internal Teak oil that it works as a natural water repellant therefor making it highly water resistant? That is somewhat accurate, but untreated Teak does not make water or food stains bead on top of the table. This is where Nano Technology Shield for Teak Tables comes in. Golden Care Teak Shield contains Nano Technology Shield. It is reasonably easy to apply, if you follow the instructions. The risks you are running is to over-apply it, to trap moisture under the shield and also to apply water instead of Nano technology. (Therefor you need to shake the bottle upside down for 1 minute before using it.) The below text is from  Golden Care’s website  and explains how NANO-Technology works on Teak tables. How does it work? The Nanoparticles work in a 3 step process: 1. The liquid is applied to the surface 2. The Nanoparticles organise & arrange themselves. They bond to the sur...
