Nano-Technology Improves Stain Performance 200-600%
SaverSystems has joint ventured with several companies to develop a new long-lasting stain technology. Our research efforts over the last year and a half have lead to a new development in the performance of exterior, semi-transparent wood finishes to protect your deck.
A newly developed nano-technology used in combination with our existing technology has been found to significantly increase the durability and weather resistance of our synthetic resin based deck stains. This new light stabilizing nano-technology actually works by blocking and absorbing the harmful UV rays from the sun that damage your wood.
Not only does this new technology help prevent wood from graying it also helps prevent water intrusion while resisting fungal growth. The independent test results are in, and below are photo’s of the actual test boards which show how the new DEFY Extreme new technology stacks up against the best selling national brands.

I sanded my deck and cleaned & brightened it. I applied two wet coats but it appears the water beads up in some areas and not so much in others. Are these areas still protected or does it need another coat of stain?
This is normal. Do not apply more stain.
My deck is several years old and I just cleaned and sanded. It was very dirty, but looks good now. I have two questions:
1. Is a “wet on wet” application necessary. This practice seems counter-intuitive to me, but I am willing to try it. Just afraid of over applying, I guess.
2. Is a “wet on wet” application only done on horizontal surfaces, as opposed to vertical posts and balusters, etc.
1. Yes if doing the two coats which is normal. If you want to apply just one coat, that should work as well. You could always apply another coat in 12-24 months.
2. Correct.
I have a NEW pressure-treated pine fence, only 3 months old. Do I need to clean it first, or can I just power-wash it on a low setting?
Clean and then brighten for prep.
I sanded down my 18 year old cedar deck and applied 1 coat of Defy semi-transparent light walnut wood stain. I could not get back to it and now it’s been a few days. Can I still apply another coat or will it not penetrate the wood? I do not want to darken the deck color any more.
No, it will not take right now. You can lightly clean and recoat next year.
I have two questions. I used the extreme semitransparent in light walnut in my deck and now putting on my porch. What is the lowest temperature I can apply in since I’m half finished with the porch and the weather is now changing. Also 12-24 hours before expected rain? And last question, next summer I know it will need a washing after winter. What do I wash it with and what if it needs any touch ups?
Not lower than 55. No rain doe 12 hours. Clean with water to remove dirt.
I have a brand new deck,(aug. 2022 installed) pressure treated wood. I like the semi transparent stains from previous decks. do i need to wait ??6-12 months? before sealing. and do you recommend two coats initially. in midwest so fluctuation of temperatures. Assuming Defy Extreme semi transparent stain is recommended. Any thoughts on “permanent ” sealers that give a 25 year warranty?? Thanks
No sealer will last 25 years. Those are gimmicks. See here for new wood: https://www.defystainhelp.com/prep-new-wood-for-defy-stains/
My pressure-treated pine deck is ~18 months old, completely pressure washed and looks great (no gray or cracks). I want to get it stained ASAP. Is it mandatory to use cleaner and brightener if the deck has no other finish on it?
Yes.
Does it have to be fully cured before temperatures dip to 45 degrees or lower?
Full dry, yes.
Is the DEFY EXTREME safe to use on a boat dock? As I don’t see gray stain in the Defy marine stain.
Yes, it is.
Once stain is applied ;
how long before you can walk on it??
6-24 hours. Make sure it is dried and cured.
I have a client with a 10-15 year old pressure treated deck around a pool in southwest Florida. She has and wants to keep a natural appearance. What do you recommend?
Try the Defy Extreme in Natural Tone.
I’ve been using your product in my deck for a long time now. As I expected, after sanding my older deck floor boards smooth (well after 80Grit) and applying your product, it raised the grain on the wood…at least that what it feels like. Can I use a 4000-5000 grit steel wool to make it less grainy feeling or will that compromise the resin sealant? Thanks
No, and never use steel wool on a deck. It will leave metal in the wood and that will lead to black rust spots.
We do not offer it. Amazon sells it.
Will the cleaner, brightener or stain harm Trex decking?
Do not get the stain on the Trex as it will stain it. The cleaner and brightener are fine.
Thank you
if I need to modify a color, what kind of stain should I use?
The only way to modify a color is to mix multiple colors of the Defy Extreme together.
I have part of a 5 gal of extreme 3yrs old can I still use it
Probably not good. Shelf life is 12 months after being opened
I thoroughly power washed my new deck to prep for stain. Do I still need to prep with your products first? I paint for a living and we always just stain the day after washing. I don’t want this product to fail.
Post pictures.
Can this be used on weathered concrete for the color component? I treated a fence and loved the color selection. Im thinking driftwood gray on a backyard concrete pad? If not what are other defy products for concrete could be used to get protection and color?
No, it cannot be used for concrete.
Do I need to mask off black aluminum balusters on the railing?
You should not get the stain on the spindles so mask or stain around them.
