Check out the Sikkens stain application guide. They have suggestions for
prep and their Cetol 123 plus product is an excelent choice for cedar
siding. You will get the color back, it will be consistent and it will stay
that way if you follow their instructions. I'm not affiliated with them just
a satisfied customer. I used the 'Natural' color.

Good luck - Take some pictures and post when done.
