I have built a new cedar deck for a client and she wants it to miraculously look ten years old to match her fence. Are there any porducts out there that do this? Maby a acid wash or just a gray stain?

CABOT does offer a bleaching oil to age siding/shingles-but it may not withstand deck use.
Within a year, the sun will do a superb job, then mold/mildew will occur...
A semi-transparent stain may be the path of least resistance here.Good Luck-LRZ
