TWP 100 series I have found nothing better in 10 years of use. My test out back of the shop with twp water base out 9 mo or so on ipe is promising as well. J.
preferred deck oils
We have a university student doing a independent study on UV deck oils for his thesis. Any suggestions on which oils he should use? We need to give him about a dozen more. It is always nice to have independent results

I like Messimer's but is there a type that is actually called IPE Oil?

Yep!
you can find it online.
I like the TWP also. It does well on not only ipe, but cedar, redwood & TP too.
I tried out a new stain/sealer this year called "Wood Protect". They claim it will keep ipe from turning gray for 2-3 years or more with a clear finish. It's been nearly 6 months now since I did a sample block of ipe, not looking good. The sample is starting to turn gray. The coffee colored wood protect may do better, but a thumbs down on the clear.

You need a dozen or so.....Armstrong Clark, Baker's Gray Away, Ready Seal are some he could use.
Wood Protect
Yes I tried them this summer, had real high hopes but like you was disappointed.
