[QUOTE="CottageFarm, post: 1164723, member: 16552"] Truth is GB, there is no product out there that you're likely to be happy with. They will all need periodic reapplication. Thompson's and similar products are an oil and wax product that will wear quickly in traffic areas. Same goes for stain products. The up side to these is that they're quick and easy to reapply. Paint will hold up much longer, though will start to fade after a 1-3 years, depending on color, quality and exposure. The biggest down side to paint is that it's more labor intensive to touch up worn areas and have it blend well. It will also start to flake eventually. With PT wood you need to wait a couple of years for it to dry enough that you're not getting hydrostatic pressure that will cause bond failures. Prep is very important (and labor intensive) to remove all wax or oil that would prevent a good bond to the wood. For a paint type product, I too am interested in the Rustoleum Restore, but so far haven't had the opportunity to work with it nor judge it's long term performance. I do see it as a very viable option when wood is to the point of replacing like M5 was describing. [/QUOTE]
