I have a deck made of cedar, every spring I power wash it. Looks great while wet and much better when dry. Question is: What can I put on it to keep it looking good for the season? Don't really want to add any "color" to it. Like the "cedar" color when it's wet. Anyone have a suggestion(s)?

Remember once the stain goes down, you'll have to continually apply it. That is why I settled for pavers (less maintenance). Or you could go the au natural look? Good luck!:bottle:

you can really "clean" it with a solution of bleach and water. put it in a spray canister and apply for 20 minutes prior to power washing. then wash it all off. after that you can apply a sealant / clear coat mentioned above, but you'll probably have to reapply that annually.
