Olympic Maximum 5 Gallons SC-1019 Cool Dusk Solid Color Exterior Stain and Sealer in One

(In order to achieve the best results I made sure coatings and contaminants were completely removed then cleaning the surface per instructions.) I used Olympic "Maximum" Stain * Sealant 10 Year protection (Solid Color) on decks & fences and the results were outstanding. Made an old weathered deck look new. Its been at least 5 years and both the fence and deck haven't faded or peeled.

We bought our house 23 years ago when it was 9 years old and the cedar boards had not been restained. It was a sale on Olympic solid stain that got us to try it that first time and the house "drank" up gallons of stain on that first coat. But the second coat showed us the quality and durability of Olympic solid stains and the house was transformed into a new protected surface. We have not gone back to another product... our fences, decks, expanded house are all regularly protected with Olympic solid stain. We simply have no reason to do a trial with another product!
