Many deck / dock / log / wood sealers and stain product reviews or comparisons rate products in a laboratory setting, and fail to consider the beauty of the wood. Most deck staining products we see advertised and endorsed carry false or unrealistic claims with respect to longevity. They fail to account for the frequent maintenance required . Many end up looking "paint-like", and lead to eventual stripping. Many contain wax or silicone, which both contaminate the surface for future coating, leading to buildup, frequent maintenance and inadequate protection. Most wax-containing and linseed oil-containing products lead to eventual stripping. I would consider a "UV Cure" product like One Time Wood Protector. We have tested a lot of products over the years, and I think One Time is the closest to the perfect deck care product available.
