;~) How long is your experience with the product?


Personally, about 8 or 9 years.

The key is to apply one coat, as the label says, and reapply every 2-3
years. If more than one coat is applied, what isn't absorbed can get
sticky. More is not better. The clear version does not have the same
UV protection as the cedar tinted formula.

The guy who turned me on to it is local to me:
http://www.baldwinpergolas.com/finishing.php
http://www.baldwinfurniture.com/

All of his natural finished products are sprayed with cedar tinted
Maximum. He's probably got 10,000 items out there, including sample
benches and chairs for public use, all over the Main Street sidewalks
of local towns. Some of his pergolas go on seriously high-end homes.

He tells all of his customers what he uses, so they can better
maintain their purchases.
