Just used ronseal Charcoal grey, its very watery, needed 2 coats and could probably do with a third as it still looks a bit washed out

I used ronseal on my front fence and it took about 6 coats and I still think it could do with another. I did my back fence in Cuprinol and it took 1 coat and looks much better. definitely worth paying extra for
