Manufacturer Description: Wood Defender has deep-penetrating, modified-oil formula ensures superior results every time in just one application, with no back-brushing.

Wood Defender showed good penetration and was pretty easy to apply. This product has a very nice initial appearance, though it does have a very strong odor. Would not recommend to someone who has a sensitivity to strong odors. Product significantly darkened and the color did not hold up well during the 14 month weathering test. No visible graying or mold or mildew was noticed.
