Which clear stain is best for cypress house?

New deck was built June 2023. Now its Nov. 2023. Pressure Treated Pine.  Never stained or sealed. Middle Tennessee area. Uncovered area gets full sun most of the day. Covered area gets less sun and is way less weathered. Does that matter? Covered is also screened in and has rug and furniture.  We are looking for more natural color, would TWP 1530 Natural be a good choice? We were hoping to seal and stain before December. Too Cold? What if it takes 2 days to seal and stain? Thanks for your time and suggestions!

Hi, I'm looking for stain remover to remove black walnut stain TWP 1504 from some parts of the house pine wood siding. Do you think that "TWP Gemini's Restore a- deck cleaner & brightener kit" will help or not? If not what do you recommended? The black walnut TWP1504 is too dark for me I'm thinking now about Rustic oak or Dark oak.

We are redoing a pine log cabin that was built in the 70's.   We have sanded down the logs and are getting ready to stain.  I have used the 100 series Pecan to create a sample on a piece of actual log and I like the color using only 1 coat.  Is it recommended to use 2 coats or will 1 coat work fine?  my only worry is that 2 coats will make it much darker. 

I  have seen several discussions comparing 100 series and the 1500 series stains, but I am still confused!  I am in a state that allows 100 series.  Since I am able to use either series on my weathered western red cedar deck, which is the preferred?

24 year old deck. 31' x 12', approximately 75' of rail cap at 3' height. Steps fit deck footprint so were not added separately. Unknown wood type. Has not been touched in the past 7 years. Unknown last date / type of stain. Based on appearance it appears to have been a transparent stain. I have access to a pressure washer (in the photos, deck has just been pressure washed over past 2 days...top and bottom of deck). My primary concern is maintenance / longevity, with aesthetics being 2nd place. I'm going to be re-applying treatment to the entire deck (including the bottom). Posts on top of the deck are 8' 6x6 posts. Bottom posts are 9' 6x6 posts.

Looking for recommendations on products needed and quantities.
