DEFY Extreme Composite Deck Sealer – Crystal Clear Waterproof Sealant for Wood & Composite Surfaces with Zinc Nano-Technology, Protects Against Water & UV Damage – 1 Gallon

works as indicated. Goes on evenly. Clear. Water resistent. Was a bit sticky for 24 hrs.

Used this on a 10 year old composite deck and it made a world of difference. It brought the color and detail back to life. I would recommend this product and when needed wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Just recently used so not sure how long it lasts or when it would need another application.

Product worked well.

This product did an amazing job of restoring my Trex decking that faded in the Arizona sun. Very pleased!

Not a product issue…more on Amazon. Where’s the lid? Really?

Regarding the photos:Before - Tan/BrownDuring - WetAfter - Slightly Cedar/Red (The original color)I had to rebuild and replace portions of my 15 year-old deck. I also installed new posts, sleeves, railings, and facia. Anyway, the composite decking is still in great shape, but it was faded. I was going to use a tinted sealer, but the reviews were inconsistent. I used this Defy sealer three years ago, and I was satisfied with its performance. I knew what to expect.My deck is approximately 300 square feet including the steps. After thoroughly pressure washing the decking, I used 1.5 gallons of Defy to do one coat. Doing a second coat may be a waste of time, because in my experience, the product repels itself when it fully dries. Lay it on generously while it’s wet. You’ll know if it’s enough.I used a long handle and a 9”, 3/8” nap roller cover.You don’t really paint it on, you push on. That’s why by it’s so easy to do. Dip the roller in the tray like you do when you paint. Make a puddle of sealer and push it onto the decking (a 9” roller spans across the width of 1.5 planks on my deck). I pushed the sealer the of the length planks until the puddle was gone, and dipped the saturated roller back in tray and repeated. Then, I back-rolled the wet areas to make sure everything was covered. FYI: I did cut in with a paint brush and a small microfiber roller. I noticed that the cut-in areas came out slightly darker than the rest of the deck. It doesn’t look bad though. It dries to touch from 30 min to a couple hours. To be safe, let it dry overnight before you put your furniture back on the deck. I believe the instructions say 12 hours.I finished the deck last week. It has rained for several days this week, and the sealer is doing its job. You’ll know it’s working, because the deck will have water beads and puddles on it after it rains.

Our Timber Tec decking is about 15 years old, it’s lost its luster, looks dull, and absorbed water and dirt. We put a few coats of this on and our deck looks like new! It was simple to apply and didn’t have an odor. It dried completely, and water beaded up. That was 6 months ago, so now we’re into winter. The water still mostly beads up, I suspect that we’ll buy this again in the spring and reapply. I’m happy with the results.

Sprayed on then rolled, pretty straight forward & easy, but I only got about 160sq. ft of coverage. No fault of the product, I think my deck was well overdue...just sayin.
