CaptJ, just remember that ammonia and aluminium is not a good combination.

Using a soft brush with the grain probably means you can feel the grain. If you use a pad sideways to the grain, you get a smooth surface where you can not even feel the caulking.

On synthetic teak, there are different brands and I have only used Flexiteek, which is not slippery at all, especially not when wet. But it can get hot...

Today there are also other types of wood replacing teak as a result of the rainforest debate. From what I know, teak is not rainforest, it is leaf felling, but it is still a tropical tree.
