Default Decks from a 25 year industry professional

First question...do you want to protect only? If so use a true preservative that will allow natural aging look (gray). Storm Stain Clear Wood Life Extender #20024.
Clears that protect from graying are great, but lots of maintenance.
Mahognany use a Hardood Oil Finish designed for Mahogany.
Linseed Oil Semi Opague for decks low to ground or near water.
Avoid Solid Decks products for decks low to ground or near water.
Clean first and remove mildew.
I really like the Califormia Paints(rated #1 in Consumer Reports this month) Storm Stain LIne it is available at Johnson Paint (Wolfboro) or Home Beautiful (Belmont).
