Cleaning cherry laminate

[Rick D]

Hello all.

The cabinets in my boat are in great shape... considering they are 14 years old. Is there a polish/cleaner I can put on them to give them that new shine that you see on newer boats? Pledge? Also, there are some actual teak pieces in the counter top are table trim that are dull from age even after cleaning. How should those be handled? A coat of poly urethane?

Thanks,
--Rick

Id clean all of it with Murphy's Oil Soap.

Even though these items are on a boat. you'll do far better searching on furniture or cabinet care on the Internet.

"Pledge" wouldn't be the first choice for most people in the know. Home centers have a selection of products to use. "Formby's" is one brand.

Rick, I had good luck rubbing teak oil in really good then waiting a day or two then going over it with a furniture polish.
Also tried this on an old dinning room set and it came out like new.

Is it wood laminate of picture of wood covered in plastic like on my Sea Ray? If real wood, I agree w/ Murphy's followed by Liquid Gold.

A think coat of gloss polyurethane will restore the gloss and contrast to faded laminate.
