Max, \
Are you positive the rub rail you are asking about is teak?
Not all rub rails are teak. Mine are gumwood, eucalyptus I believe, and its natural colour is much darker than teak. Looks good although for that piece I use Cetol Natural teak covered with the Cetol Gloss.
My boat was built locally , well 80 miles away, but gumwood was not uncommon as it is TOUGHer and HARDer than teak so stands up better where it may get banged into a dock.
I did lighten my gumwood up by using a light colour wood filler. I would not do that again though. I like that dark wood.
