New source for Smith & Hawken teak preservative?

We've tried several different teak cleaners and teak oreservatives, but like the Smith & Hawken brand much better than any other we found. Of course now that they are going out of business, we no longer have a source. I'm sure someone else made it for them and they put their label on it. Does anyone have an idea who that someone was? I'd really like to be able to go on using the same product if possible.

Amazon Blend 55. Amazon teak cleaner. Pretty much a standard in the boat industry. I use the Blend 55 on exterior doors, interior stained woodwork. I'd put it on ice cream if I could! Great stuff. Not cheap though. I doubt it could be more expensive than a Smith and Hawken product. It's a blend of tung and leaf oil. Leaf oil is the hardest oil known and is used on diamonds to help maintain their luster after cleaning. It doesn't dry real fast though. If you want something that dries check out Deks Olje (pronounced ole-ya). Personally I'd use Blend 55.
