I have always wished for a product you could apply once a year that would keep the wood looking like new. I tried all the available products and was steadily disappointed. Then I found Olympic Maximum Cedar Natural Tone. It is the closest thing to my dream as I have found. If you would like the furniture to retain it's color and texture then you should apply a maintenance coat once a year. It goes on very fast and easy.
