I'd skip the clear and go for Olympic Maximum Cedar Tint outdoor oil
finish.

It'll protect the color, never peel, and it's ridiculously easy to
apply.



;~) How long is your experience with the product? I have been wanting to
stain/tint my deck that is PT with 24 years of sun exposure. Still very
sound but rough looking but IMHO rough looking is better than pealing paint.
The Olympic product sounds interesting.
