1 - Do they go bad sitting in a can? I've got a can of each...could be as
old as 10 years, I don't recall.


Normally not if unopened. Once opened 50/50.



2 - Which (if either) could I use on cedar to keep it from turning grey (as
fast)?


No clear finish will keep wood from turning grey, that I am aware of.
UV rays fade the surface of the wood.
Pressure wash or sand to remove the grey.


Oxalic acid works well.
