i can answer cedar questions to help
the look of the new honey blonde cedar is great
however it is going to change from the sunlight
no product will prevent this......if it was mine i would not listen to anyone that tells you about sealers and such.....your roof will turn to a rich silver gray that blends well with any color.....and also with nature
as far as maintenance just keep it clean
if you have some leaf buildup in a valley or such just wash it with your garden hose and be careful......it can be slippery
congratulations on your new roof.......you have made a great choice
