I have a 20 plus year cedar deck and I used the Cabot cleaner and brightener on it. I have decided not to use their product to stain it. I would like a rich cedar/oak color without it being too brown or orange. I also don't want it too light or too dark. What color and type of stain do you suggest would be best on it. I would like something that would last longer and was trending toward the semi-transparent but was unsure of the amber color on cedar and if it was a semi-transparent stain. The Natural looked too light and so did some of the cedar. I'm not sure if there is a difference between the cedar transparent and semi-transparent cedar. Since I won't be staining immediately as I'm trying to figure out the color would I need to re-apply brightener or cleaner before staining.
