Best guess from multiple contractors is our front porch flooring is red cedar. It is not painted and is not sealed. I scrub it annually and would like to protect it. Also, it has a beautiful, deep, rich reddish color when wet. It would be nice to see that color when dry. I don't want to track the product into the house. What product would you recommend? SAMPLE - Vermont Natural Coatings PolyWhey, Exterior, Penetrating Stain, Brackish Brown Wood Stains & Sealers

The most effective stain we have found for exterior use is our Vermont Natural Coatings Polywhey Exterior Stain--a water-based stain and finish. This product is non-toxic, but heavy foot traffic may require our AFM Safecoat EXT polyurethane coating to help provide better abrasion and moisture resistance. We recommend testing small samples first, for appearance and absorption.
