maintenance; visit rustoleum.com/restore. 
1. SURFACES 
Wood: Restore 10X Advanced Resurfacer should only be applied on horizontal, structurally sound wood and most 
composite surfaces. Some composite decking is engineered with moisture repellants or sealers that may prevent 
proper adhesion. Be sure to follow specific manufacturer’s recommendation before applying to any composite 
decking. 
NOT FOR USE ON: Smooth or floated concrete, fiberglass, tile, and metal surfaces. These surfaces will not allow 
for proper adhesion. Do not use on driveways, garages, or other areas with vehicular traffic. 
2. NEW WOOD 
New wood may be wet with chemicals or have mill glaze from the manufacturing process. New wood should age 
for a minimum of 6 months before applying Restore 10X Advanced Resurfacer. The lumber must dry completely 
before applying the product to prevent peeling of the coating. The surface must also be properly cleaned and 
prepared using Restore Deck & Concrete Cleaner to remove all foreign material and mill glaze prior to application.  
Follow the PREPARATION instructions to be sure the Restore 10X Advanced Resurfacer adheres properly to the 
wood. 
3. TINTING 
Restore 10X Advanced Resurfacer tint base must be tinted at the store of purchase. DO NOT APPLY IF PRODUCT 
HAS NOT BEEN TINTED.   
4. COVERAGE 
•  One 1-gallon can of Restore 10X Advanced Resurfacer will cover up to 40 square feet with two coats 
•  One 4-gallon bucket of Restore 10X Advanced Resurfacer will cover up to 160 square feet with two coats

REGADLESS OF AGE OR SURFACE CONDITION, FAILURE TO FOLLOW ONE OF THESE PREPARATION METHODS WILL 
RESULT IN POOR ADHESION AND POSSIBLE COATING FAILURE. NEW AND SEALED WOOD DECKS NEED TO 
WEATHER AT LEAST SIX MONTHS BEFORE APPLICATION.  
METHOD 1: PREPARATION WITH RESTORE DECK START WOOD PRIMER (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) 
Step 1 – Clean: 
Clean the surface using a deck brush and the Restore Deck & Concrete Cleaner. The surface must be completely 
clean and free of dirt, grease, mildew and organic growth to ensure product bonding and adhesion. For best 
results use a pressure washer, in addition to the Restore Deck & Concrete Cleaner, to remove embedded dirt and 
grime. (Use at a low setting 500-1200 PSI. Do not use high pressure as it may harm the wood.) For mildew and
