My dad recommended this:



Said it will withstand the test of time better than any other product out there. Is he right?

Or is there another product out there that I should look at?

Yep. Marine varnish is the best. My painter recommends it and it helped my front door so much.

I prefer McCluskey's, but BenMoore makes really great products.

I also have exposed wood on a door and typically use spar urethane...it is expensive as hell, but holds up better than anything else I have used...

even with that, it has to be redone every couple of years...

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.
