I have just finished pressue washing my cedar siding. I do not know what kind of sealer to use. I like the natural look and the color now is prefect. I went to Lowes and was told the product I need was $190.00. I went to Home Depot and they said I could use a product for $58.00. Was do I look for and how should the product be applied.

Stay away from the box stores if you care about your Cedar Siding. If your willing to pay $70+ a gallon find a Sikkens Dealer and look at their Cetol Log & Siding. If that’s not in the budget I’ve used Parrifin Oil on Cedar with good results for years.

Thanks

But how do you apply the Parrifin Oil?

If you havnt already you will want to apply a brightner. If your looking for a ntural look I would use Sikkens SRd Translucent which ia a one coat non film forming system or Sikkens Log and Siding Translucent which is a two coat film forming system.

Thanks

I put it on liberally with a garden sprayer, then work it in with a rag or brush depending on the surface. Then ideally wait a few days and do it again.

What I use is “Chevron Shake and Shingle Oil”. The only place to get it that I know of is at a Chevron Heating Oil Company.
