                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[A few years ago we took your advice and applied Defy Extreme Stain to a wolmanized pine deck in Pittsburgh, we relocated to South Central Texas and we are having a Western Red Cedar deck installed.  We are wondering what product do you recommend to clean and prepare the deck for staining and what stain should be applied.  I see on your website that you like Armstrong Clark and Timber oil.  We do have 2 gallons of the Defy Extreme product left over from the Pittsburgh deck, but it is not an oil based.<br />
	<br />
	So what would you suggest.<br />

	Thanks for your help<br />
