Presenting ProLuxe 23 Plus RE Transparent Satin Cedar Wood Finish, a robust oil-based coating engineered to protect, enhance, and extend the life of wood surfaces. This 1-gallon blend combines acrylic, alkyd, and urethane chemistries to deliver a clear cedar-toned film that preserves grain while standing up to sun, moisture, and daily wear.
Why this finish stands out
Designed for real-world use, ProLuxe 23 Plus RE provides a transparent cedar appearance with a satin sheen that subtly enriches natural wood without masking it. The formulation is purpose-built to seal and shield wood beneath a durable, UV-resistant layer, helping to reduce cracking and color fading over time. It’s a practical choice for wood decks, fences, siding, doors, trim, and other exterior or interior wood projects where a natural cedar look is desired.
