I think the grey colour is about as good as it gets. Oil just makes it
look like it's wet i.e. dark grey, and the stuff you see the fat blokes
spraying in the tv advert needs doing every year to keep it looking like
Legoland.
Oxalic acid is the basis of most of the bleaching products, but it
didn't work for me, so I'm sticking with the driftwood look.
