The before and after pictures tell it all in this project.  The original finish on this fence was finally on it's last leg and was clearly time for the overhaul!  We started by power washing the entire fence with a power washer and Wolman's Deck & Fence Brightener.  Deck & Fence Brightener is a universal cleaner and can be used on all types of wood, removes old finishes well and leaves the wood prepped for the new coating.

Here is a picture of the "before" fence which has been weathered well and the original finish faded off.  Once dried I was determined to have the fence look basically new and applied Wolman's DuraStain - which does come in a semi-transparent stain but I needed a solid stain that would give the fence an even look.  DuraStain Solid Color Stain in Chestnut Brown worked like magic-application was smooth  and had a puddling like consistency which made the application quite easy.   Check out my results!
