I will also give 2 thumbs up to sikkens. I have been using it for about the last 10 years and not even the cwf holds a candle to it. Although the last gallon I bought was $50 and it took to gallons to do our deck which is 12' x 52' On a new deck it will asorb the first coat you put on and then the 2nd coat will dry to a great shine. I have to do my front porch today.
