"My decking is 17 years old and has been abused by various children over the years as my wife is a childminder . I have tried various treatments from the bargain buys to the eye watering expensive spending a lot of time in the process and then having the deck out of bounds till it driesThere is no need for all that with this product as it goes on easily with a 4 inch brush and completed in 3 hours ( decking is 18ft x 10ft) and was dry to a naturally dark colour within the hour. 1 coat was all that was needed for this excellent finish from an excellent product. Will certainly purchase this again."

"This was recommended by a Landscape contractor, I usd it on my over-lap fence panels & posts. It really soaks right in to the timber so I am hopeful it will provide good protection. it also gives the timber a slight seen and it darkens the wood quite a bit, but I would sooner have the wood finish than have to paint the fence."

"Wow Where do I start to tell you what a great product this is...I have a very expensive Canadian cedar wood vertical fence which due to the sun and elements and performance previous wood treatment product looked abandoned, grey and lifeless. After I had thoroughly cleaned/jet washed it to restore the natural beauty and remove preserver I sprayed on Cedol and followed by brushing where the product was not quite soaked in. What a stunning transformation...in fact better than when it was installed...the natural beauty of the grain and natural colours are breathtaking! It has been on a week and dried in which has toned the initial darker colour. Everyone who has seen the fence can’t stop saying how beautiful it is. I will be applying another coat in a week or so. I spoke to Michael who had time to listen and share his experience with the product can’t thank him enough for his time! Would most definitely recommend this product"
