Epifanes is pretty tough to beat.
MinWax Helmsman spar is a good and much cheaper alternative and comes in an aerosol version with different sheen's.
That being said, the BM varnish is likely to be pretty comparable.

All that crap sucks use sikkens cetol exterior.

I should know. I am an expert level door refinisher.

But we use a uv cured finish now that is far superior to even that. My finish is 300 a gallon.

OT level refinisher bitches!!!

MinWax Helmsman 


Is what I used on my front door. Ive redone it 3 times in 10 years. The first coat the painter put he used something cheap and it only lasted 4 year. I resanded my door down to the wood and put the Helsman stuff. About 2 years ago I light sanded it and put another coat.
