I heard there's some kind of really great cedar wood deck treatment,
sold in marine shops, but I can't remember what it was called now.
Anyone remember? It was about $60-80 a galon I think.

Good stuff. I've used it a few years now and won't use anything else.

Edwin - that's it. Thanks for the link. What color do you use? I have
a cedar deck, its about 70 feet wide and 15' deep, how much would I
need? I was thinking about the: Ultra Premium Red Label Penofin in
Western Red Cedar, I like a more of a brownish red finish, preferably
something like teak furniture looks.

I used the Penofin for Hardwoods I've used it on mahogany and Spanish
cedar. So far, there is no graying from UV after a few years. I'd guess
about 2 to 3 gallons to do deck and rails. That's a good sized deck!
