rib floor care

Hi I have a Valiant 5.7 and the teak looking floor is looking a little shabby. i am sure its not wood by a covering /transfer. what can I do to give it a fresh look of life.

regards

Chris

If it's a proper fake teak thats individual welded strips like flexiteak you can jet wash it then sand in the direction of the grain to bring the "grain" back up. It it can be block sanded with a course grade paper, 60 or 80 grit in line with the grain to restore the surface. Need to check what it is first though theres so pretty poor versions about nowadays
