What would you recommend as the best redwood deck sealer? I've got everything stripped down and ready to go. I live in southern California and the deck gets a lot of sun and some weather. I want something that can stand up to the constant sun. Another important factor is ease of use and when it's time to reapply, a minimum of preparation. Thank you for your assistance and time. Flood CWF was recommended to me, but I have heard many negative comments about it since.

Flood tends to sit on top of the wood like paint and you want something that soaks into the wood. Thompson's has several products I like and one which I don't like at all. Try their Advanced or their Wood Protector Plus which can be bought in 5 tints.
