50/50 chlorine bleach/water in a garden sprayer, applied on a day with no
wind

wear a mask, bleach will age you faster than anything, if you inhale it

I am planning on doing this in July also. How long should I let the
solution sit on the siding before rinsing it off?

The other thing I was going to try on a spot was Flood CWF-UV Clear in the
hopes that it might keep the new wood look for a couple of seasons.
Comments?

I've just purchased a house with cedar siding. The siding is about 10-15
years old and is well "weather-grayed" except for areas under the eaves
which are mostly protected from the elements. Personally, I like the look
of them, but my wife would like the siding to have it's youthful brown
color.

Is there any way to restore/refresh the siding? Can it be stained or
sealed
to give it color that way? Or will staining/sealing counteract the
natural
insect and water resistance of the cedar?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
