Tim,
Do a search on Ready Seal.....and you will have more reading material then you can handle in two hours time...............lots has been said about it on this board. Some skeptics, but mostly from people who never actually tried it.
I have been using it for almost four years now.......and love it.
Contact Mr. Pierce Fitchett at 410-381-8400.
I get it shipped by truck, and if you buy 25 gallons or more at a time, there is no shipping charges. Works for me.

Mike, am relatively new to deck cleaning/renewal. Have used some Wolmans, Olympic. Based on the comments on this and other boards I am ready to move to make Ready Seal my "product of choice". Can you give a short list of what you tell your customers key selling points are to Ready Seal?
Thanks for the search info.

1) Oil based and penetrating..........which means that........
2) The next time the deck has to be sealed, it does not have to be stripped first. (saving wear and tear on the deck)
3) Can be rained on shortly after it is applied
4) Not available in stores ( professional grade product, makes them feel like they are getting something that they can't do themselves) Which is true to an extent.
I also explain how critical proper prep work is to a penetrating product, and tell them exactly what we will be doing to the deck........ cleaners, low pressure, brightners.
I hope that helps.....

Hey gang, I don't want to start a battle over best product. I just want to 'throw something out there' for guys with not much experience in sealing.
1) there is not a perfect product for sealing. some apply easier, some last longer, some clean up easy after they fail (oh yes, they will fail - that is the beauty of this Biz.) and some are just awful.
2) Find a product that you like, get used to working with it, learn its characteristics and your expectations of that product.
3) Don't oversell expectations of any product. This could cost you money or worse, your reputation.
I've tried just about everything on the market and I still test 'new' products (I've got alot of family that don't mind me cleaning and sealing thier deck for free).
Here are some things that I look for in a product:
1) thin, oil based, penitrating oil. (like Mike said)
2) darker tone, I found the darker the tone (more pigmint) the more color retention you have.
3) lasts at least 18 months. by this I would like to see pretty good color retention and more important water must repel. Why 18 months? So that jobs I sell in the fall will last two winters. Also, it shifts some work from spring to the fall.
I know I've gone off base here. But, what I was getting to was Billy B. making Ready Seal "his product of choice" just from what was send on this board (not using it). Ready Seal is a very good product BUT there are a plenty of very good products to look at before you determine "your product of choice".
Peace, Tim
PS If you are in Philly area I look forward to seeing you @ Dave & Busters on 2/23/02 if you can make it.
