We've used a number of products here in Florida where the sun beats down on our deck and have never found a successful product. We decided to try using your Black Walnut ExoShield and it's performed much better than anything else we've tried. Tung Oil is the magic and your product is the magic! In addition, we stained our entire Cedar porch ceiling with Black Walnut ExoShield and then applied a coat of marine Spar Varnish over the ExoShield. We couldn't be happier with the results and everyone who comes over compliments us on the beauty of our porch ceiling.

The cedar now really pops with Nova. The old semitransparent stuff was peeling, we sanded down to the bare wood and applied Nova. What a difference.
