Chose Rustoleum Restore 10x "Advanced" to restore this weathered wood Florida deck after applying an earlier Restore product to a test-area and waiting 2 years. The new 10x Advanced is still holding up well a full year after full installation. EDIT: Now 2 years! This deck had given my wife a 3-inch sliver in the bottom of her foot requiring an ER visit. This 10x Advanced Restore coating has made the deck safe again. Even if we had torn half the decking off and started over, the amount of weathering in the Florida sun and rain makes wood decking crack and form slivers in a few seasons. This product has solved that issue for us with much less expense than redoing everything with composite decking which was the only other solution.
UPDATE! Now it is 2020 (4 years since doing the entire deck and 6 years since doing a test area) and the deck is still holding strong. We could not be happier with this material. This is NOT the same stuff as the class action lawsuit. Now I see they have 20x material and I think it may be time to do all of our concrete surfaces too. Note: this decking sits directly on sand and gets torrential rains and blistering sun.
