Have not found one yet that will handle the coastal climate in Pebble Beach. Good luck. I have not tried the wood rich though.

I had to share a picture and express thanks to all who contributed suggestions and guidance. It's all had an impact on making this job turn out beautifully. You can see pictures at http://www.manzanitapublishing.net/Porch/20111030-00035.jpg and http://www.manzanitapublishing.net/Porch/20111031-00042.jpg. The first one shows the difference between the porch and the bridge, still to be stained. In preparation, we applied cleaner, stripper and brightener. For the stain, we are using the Gemini Storm Shield -- the SS616 Rustic Oak shade. Although the red definitely comes through, it isn't turning out as red as I had feared it might. Anyway, I know now it's going to look gorgeous, and am looking forward to getting at the large deck in back.
