Staining Pressure Treated Wood: Is There a Better Way?

I'm taking a chance...
A few weeks back I decided to stain our 10 year old retaining wall. It's made from pressure treated wood and still looks awesome.
And I'd like to keep it that way.
After research and talking with store associates I decided to use Woodland Oil. It's made by Olympic. One of the benefits is that that it shouldn't need to be stripped - only reapplied.
NO STRIPPING!!!!
After hearing this I decided to give it a shot. I love the results and wanted to share them with you.
This could be your next project.
That said, I'd love to hear your feedback. Please share your staining stories so that our awesome DIY community can learn what works and what doesn't.
Visit Home Repair Tutor to see my complete before and after pics. Don't miss my video tutorial, too. I tend to make goofy DIY faces, haha.
Cheers,
Jeff
