has anyone had any experience staining trex decking and any recommended products? i am thinking of staining our entire 5 year old deck which has trex decking and PT posts rails and trex stiles and top cap to refresh it . i see there is a Cabot ?:" australian timber oil stain" which states it can be use for composite as well as PT. is this a bad idea or other products that might be better? thanks john

Wow - I thought the whole attraction of trex was that it was maintenance free! ! !

Trex never has to be painted or stained. Trex says that faded products can be painted or stained. Cabot's products are good. Trex does not advise pressure washing.
