Worked very well so far, here's the whole story of doing the "black"cedar siding.
Bottom line-the spray gun worked a treat with the Wolman raincoat sealer which is a very thin liquid just like water.:
1.The Wood Cleaner-Sodium Percarbonate Uncoated/ Kosher 25 Lb. pack from Pro Supply Outlet (@Amazon)
================================================================================
This comes in 5 lb bags which makes pouring convenient. 1 pound is about the amount in a full
cottage cheese container-check with a kitchen scale. Use caution when handling the powder, and wear glasses/goggles and a hat, long sleeves etc. also don't mix more than will fit in your pump sprayer.
In general I wanted to follow the recommendations
-Don't use chlorine based bleach because it damages the wood..
-Don't use a power washer because it damages the wood.
-Don't use an oil based stain because mold spores feed on oil.
The siding on the North side of the house was quite black after 15yrs of NW weather, it came back to new looking using the following cleaning method:
-Add 1lb of SPUK per gallon water thoroughly mixed. (8oz SPUK per gallon did not work as well).
-Spray on the wood until saturated and milky looking, then wait 20mins, but don't let it dry.
-Clean off with water using a high pressure hose spray attachment or a low pressure electric washer (what I used).
No brushing needed. The hose spray wasn't quite enough due to the very long hose length and pressure drop but the black
stuff fell off in sheets when my old Sears electric pressure washer was used.
Update#1
It also worked a treat on the two cedar garage doors. Wow -they look new and are actually 15years old.
Update#2
It was necessary to go over extreme weathered areas rwice to get the new look.
2. Stain/sealer section and using the Wagner 0518050
========================================
I used 5-gal Wolman Raincoat tinted natural cedar water repellant sealer (HD) for the house cedar siding and cedar garage doors.
Sprayed on with a Wagner 0518050 Control Spray Double Duty Paint Sprayer. So far have sprayed on about 10 gallons over a period of 3 days, some areas had to be done with a brush because the over spray would have wasted too much sealer. It is very thin, just like water, and if anything a finer minimum setting on the spray gun would have been useful. Used one coat. Initially I did not like the color but after drying it looks great.
After each day of use cleaned the spray gun by spraying some water and bit of dish soap through the nozzle. It is hard to clean off of surfaces if let to dry-used mineral spirits.

Works Well Enough
Used to spray about 150 ft of wood fence. Sprayer worked well, delivers and nice even spray pattern, and worked well with the oil based stain/sealer I used. One star off because it seems just a touch flimsy. The plastic of the gun and bottle are thick and sturdy, however I dropped the sprayer from about 3 ft and the nozzle with the reservoir popped off. Other than that minor issue, I had no trouble whatsoever with it, and as can be seen from the photos, it did a fabulous job staining my fence. I should add that this was one coat.
