This product is absolutely increadible. I highly reccomend on red Cedar.
This product does what is says: it not only cleans the decking but brings back the original colour of the wood, with a weathered look.
Quality product and great on the decking.
Very disappointed in this product otherwise an OSMO fan. The picture on the label shows greying wood transformed into good as new. It did not remove the grey it simply left the surface cleaner, as if it had been washed but nothing like the picture and still only suitable for painting thereafter rather than staining or waxing.
I've used this so many times now and it's pure magic - by far the best wood reviver/restorer on the market, it's pure magic!!
I sanded so much before applying this that I didn’t really leave much for it to do.
I used it on my deck recently and it did a great job to remove the existing finishing and layers of gunk.
Only made marginal difference to renovation of door cill
I'd been struggling to get my decking clean but this gel turned out to be a miracle worker. Don't get me wrong, it still takes time and elbow grease if your decking is as grotty as mine was but I finally got it clean enough to oil the wood before the heavens opened again.
Works well but the more effort you put in to work it into the wood the more engrained dirt you release.
I read other reviews before purchase so knew that elbow grease was required to get the best results and that this product does not do all the work for you. the scrubbing and cleaning were the most important aspects to remove dirt staining and various types of algae/moss, and the wood reviver then worked well on the cleaned wood and brought back the teak colour mostly. my chairs had been outside for years and not looked after for many.. the chair iIdid not treat remained pale and sun bleached
Excellent Osmo products and extremely fast service. It made a difficult job much easier. Thank you.
Chose this for my larch plank deck, down for 6 years with no previous treatment, having watched the very informative video on this site comparing treatments. This product did a great job, I under ordered for the second part of this project and ended up skimping on the last quarter, consequently the result was a bit patchy. Ordered another tub and gave a second coat which part of this very grey and stained deck needed. Followed up with Manns decking oil. Great result. Some friends visited and thought that I had had new decking put down! It certainly looks like it. A good investment!
It requires some elbow-grease and a stiff-bristled brush but has restored a great deal of original colour to my oak doors, removing the grey. It has also worked wonders on my decking where the ribbed profile means that sanding is not an option.
Excellent stuff. Works well and no sanding.
Provided the wood is adequately prepared this product is excellent for reviving good quality wood.
This gel was AMAZING on our greyed IPE, brought it back to life like new!
Really like the product, just that it is a work out, so take note.
We had wanted to revive the timber on our 10ft x 8ft Dutch Barn design shed, as the appearance of the soft wood had aged considerably having turned grey/silver. Following advice from Ross at Wood Finishes Direct, I decided to use Osmo Wood Reviver Power Gel which claims to remove the grey patina, restoring the natural colour of the wood. I found that the product actually works, but make no mistake that there is a lot physical scrubbing of the wood required to get the desired effect with most of the grey patina coming off. The wood was then ready for me to apply the Osmo UV Protection Oil.
Having used Osmo oil on new iroko joinery some time ago and been disappointed at its lack of durability, this Reviver looked to be exactly what was needed to get rid of the grey areas where the finish had worn off and restore an even colour. What can I say? It simply doesn't do what it is claimed to do. having followed the instructions to the letter, there was little, if any, visible effect. A complete waste of both time and money.
First time I've used this on a 2 year old deck. I applied two coats a week apart. Very patchy results. Fortunately the Clear decking oil did a reasonable job in calming down the camouflage effect!!! I personally would only use on lightly silvered wood.
Very easy to apply and did a good job on restoring the decking
Needs some heavy scrubbing to achieve a decent result.
Made a real difference to the look of our garden table
I would give the product 5 out of 5
Used product in an attempt to revitalise sides of oak timber porch, built 2019 and treated at the time with 2 coats of Osmo UV Protection Oil. Timber was showing grey patches. Application of Osmo Wood Reviver Power Gell made no noticeable change in appearance of oak. Waste of time and effort. Will apply 2 coats of the Protection Oil and hope for the best.
Tried out to revive heavily neglected Ipe deck; not 100% sure of results for the price.
The product did what it said on the container
This costing brings the colour back to the wood and is so easy to apply. Love it!
Easy to use and really revitalises weathered wood. Very pleased.
Sadly I was expecting more! Wood looks a bit cleaner but I expected marks to fade a bit more so disappointed.
Bought this reviver gel on WFD's recommendations to restore the condition of the quality outdoor timber furniture at my pub - really very impressed with it! It brought back the original appearance after 1-2 coats and we had plenty of positive comments from pub customers. Requires a bit of hard work to scrub the wood, but well worth it. I would suggest a nail brush and toothbrush or similar to go along with a decking brush, and where the discoloration is particularly bad it helps to apply generously.
Quite good reviving cedar that was greying noticably
