I have an untreated IPE deck in Northern CA near the coast, gets foggy but burns off mid morning, I have Rubio Monocoat 5� white inside my house and love it, really want to use the Rubio exterior in Look Ipe - my question is do I need to power wash my deck prior to using the Rubio exterior wash? And will the look ipe look very similar to how the ipe looks now ?
