Question 10

I have a home with cedar siding that's very weathered and has had Penofin applied to it a couple of times - at least 10 years ago. There are areas where it looks like varnish was applied when the house was originally built in the '50's which would have to be sanded. Everything is mildewed/darkened but overall a cleaning and a brightener would probably bring the wood back to its original color. I am looking for a product to apply that will protect the wood, resist mildew/mold growth, last for several years and be able to be reapplied without having to sand prior to reapplication. What do you recommend? View answer
