I have a 20-year old cedar log cabin. I’ve been using transparent UV sealer (Defy Advance) on it to preserve the natural color, but now the sun-facing sides are bleaching out. I think I need a transparent stain with UV. I’ve heard most about Defy and Lifeline. Any recommendations?

I’m a big Life Line fan. Have used it for over 15 years and had great results with it. Preparing the surface properly is the key to any stain working. I would not recommend putting the Life Line over the Defy. It will need to be stripped, preferably by media blasting.
