I’m looking for a way to create a “weathered” gray look on new cedar siding. The commercial bleaching oil I have worked with in the past has gray pigment that collects on the surface and doesn’t look right to me. It is also pretty nasty stuff to work with.

I'm facing the same challenge. I've spoken to Greg Trout at Michigan Pre-Stain. He seems to have a good deal of experience and says he has an alternative to bleaching oil that he says works better. He's been really helpful eventhough I haven't yet bought anything from him yet.
Michigan Pre-Stain advertises in FHB.
Their number is 800 641-9663.
Good luck. Please keep me posted on what you end up doing.
