I have a pressure treated deck.

I had it put up about a year ago or so. I was told to let it "season" for
about a year before I stain it.



About 3 weeks ago,

I treated it with a cleaner and a wood rejuvenator,
then I pressure washed it,
the I put a waterproofer on it with a tint (Honey Gold)


Suddenly,
on different locations of the deck, there are little white spots showing up.
I can't determine if this is something coming up through the wood or a
result of water sitting on the deck boards due to
the waterproofer after a rain.

Any ideas?
Anyone have any similar situations?

This will happen if the wood is not completely dry before applying a
sealer. After washing wait at 10 or more days before applying any
finish.
