Ratings & Reviews for Cabot Driftwood Gray Solid Exterior Wood Stain and Sealer in One ( 1-quart )

What Customers Are Saying
The Cabot solid exterior wood stain appears to be a high-quality product that offers good coverage and protection for outdoor surfaces. Many customers reported the stain went on smoothly, covered well in one or two coats, and provided a durable, long-lasting finish that resisted the elements. The color selection was also praised. However, some customers received the wrong color or an unstained base that required tinting, and a few found the stain more like a paint than a true stain, not performing as expected on high-traffic areas. The high price was also noted as a downside by some.

Would RecommendThe Cabot paint worked good. This is my last purchase with Lowes. I will this product from another dealer. Lowes has turned into garbage. No wonder they are selling clothes and die cast cars.

Would Not RecommendI bought this online to have delivered to my home. when it arrived it wasn't even mixed with the stain color. I had to go to the store to have them tint it. got back home and the apply it. the color was sky blue not the dark gray.

Don't waste your money!
Would Not RecommendWe spent hours - actually days- prepping and painting a handicap ramp with this product. Painted it in Sept 2025 in gray and it looked great. Here it is March 2026 and it's peeling and wearing off. We did not put any kind of salt on it nor did we use a shovel or any kind of tool on it actually no wheelchair or anything on it. All that work and it looks terrible. Garbage product.

Don’t use it.
Would Not RecommendBegan scraping off after only three days, just because dogs walked across it! Very unhappy with its lack of durability. Plus, It was time consuming brushing on three gallons. Expensive waste of money as well…..😔

Outstanding product!
Would RecommendThis is my 7th gallon of this product and I love it! It provides great 1 coat coverage; however, I did use 2 coats on my fence. I painted my back and 2 front side fences last year and it looks like new; rain and sun are no match for this product! I like the coverage as it hides the ugliness of a pine picket. This year I used this product on our new side fence, again I used 2 coats, and it looks fantastic! Easy to apply, 1st coat absorbs more, but the 2nd coat goes on with much less product. Rain...

This was over top of the plastic decking material
Would Not RecommendI thought it was pretty expensive when I first got it. It's like $25 for a quart but now I'm glad that I paid the full price for it cuz it ended up being a pretty good deal
