My home is on the east coast of Florida - just south of Daytona Beach - about 1/4 mile from the Atlantic Ocean. The home has covered exterior porches with the ceilings of the porches covered with T&G cypress.
I love the look of the cypress and would like to keep it looking as it does now (the cypress has been in place for about 3 years. I have just given it a light sanding to remove the fingerprints from the workers who installed the cypress.)
What product should I use? A clear stain? A clear penetrating oil? Shellac? Something with UV protection? Specific product recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks.
