Restoring Cedar?
Someone gave me a playground. It is very big, old, but cedar and the wood is still in good shape. Tips for restoring the wood? It is pressure washing off very well, but I feel like it needs something as the color is a little flat. At least I think it is, it may not be.

Restoring Cedar?
Clean, sand, and stain, maybe a sealer.

Re: Restoring Cedar?
Depends on what you're going for in effect. Old school options include tung and boiled linseed oil. Great for a natural look that matches older styles, but the newer products are likely better wearing.
I did some research on this years ago when I put up my fence, but I left it natural. If I can find my link it was to a more absorption based product.People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

Reading around, I think I'll try the semi transparent version of what Dan posted. But if you can find that absorption based product, I think I would like to see that.

Tinted Thompson’s Water Seal would work well.
