I used this on an interior cement floor. Very easy to brush on and so far seems to hold. I'm guessing you need to reapply every year but I'll wait and see. Good value.

Used the stripper and then power washed. Went great and super quick. Then next day I stained and was very easy. Did 2 coats in less than half a day and it dries very fast. And the finished product was beautiful. I chose the dark walnut color.

Just spruced up our cabin deck and this stain looks great - would recommend this product! We had to totally clean, sand, and then re-finish our deck in the woods in the Pacific Northwest which had been sitting untouched by past owners for at least 5 years if not longer, so it was in seriously poor shape, as you can see in the before photos here. This deck was so filthy at first that we literally had to use a SHOVEL to get all the moss off of it before we could start actually cleaning it properly. We didn't have the ability to replace any deck boards so we knew we wanted a sealant that really got into the parts of the boards that were a little worse for wear. I can definitely see a slight sheen on the uneven/rotted parts of the boards where the sealant pooled, but honestly it doesn't bother me - it just seems like a little added protection against the elements, which I'm happy about. It was super easy to apply, and really easy to clean the tools after with just water and a little Dr. Bronner's soap. The deck has some inherited neglect issues in some of the boards, but otherwise it looks and feels GREAT now. I can't quite emphasize enough the difference in look and feel. Now we can walk on it barefoot and it's totally comfortable. We also re-did the patio furniture with the same stain/sealant so that's pictured here as well.

I purchased all three steps products to refinish the deck on the house we just purchased. It is 30' x 30', so I ordered 5 gallons of the stain. The cleaner and the brightener worked great, plenty of both left over for the future. The stain ended up just barely enough to cover, mainly because about 1/3 of the deck is protected from the weather by an overhanging roofline and required much less stain to cover. Some of the most worn sections really soaked up the stain/waterproofer, so depending on your situation you will need to adjust how much stain to order. It says 100 to 150 square feet per gallon for two coats. If your deck has a lot of wear, calculate about 75 square feet per gallon. It also says the finish is flat, but I found that it has some sheen to it, especially over the less weathered sections. Application is easiest when you follow the directions by doing the second coat within about 15 minutes of application of the first coat. It covers more easily and dries better. Used dark walnut color due the deck being previously stained and the darker color made the whole deck more uniform in color while leaving the woodgrain to show through the stain. Don't know how this will stand up to northern Alabama weather, but I am happy with it so far. The only downside was the Amazon shipping. It shipped via USPS, and I was notified by the post office that they could not deliver as the packaging was damaged and there was a lot of leakage, making a mess of their truck and building. Reorder was easy through Amazon, although I had to speak with a person as the online return/reorder page directed me to return the original order. Since it was damaged and leaking, I asked how I was expected to ship it back. The Amazon customer service guy over-rode those directions and made sure I didn't have to ship the damaged stuff back. When I got the new order, I understood how it could have been damaged and leaking. The box that the 2.5 gallon jug came in from the manufacturer was well labeled and had arrows directing to keep the box vertical. But when the two jugs came in Amazon packaging, they didn't bother to pack them upright and had no notice on the outside of the box that it was to be shipped vertically and also no notice that it was liquid. Plus, the box that the two jugs of stain came in was larger than the two boxes and no packing was included to keep it from sliding around which also contributed to the original order being damaged. Since I eventually got everything I ordered undamaged, I didn't take any stars off my review.

Great product goes on very easy great coverage
