Yes - very nice and the best part is it will look that way for years to come.

Question - Seeing you went direct (do not seem to be a lot of local distributors around) was there a minimum that you had to observe for the order?

There was no minimum per se, but shipping is included when ordering over a certain amount—I'm not sure what that amount is as I needed much more than the minimum to begin with since I did both home and camp decks with the same decking.

Looks great! Should look like that in 20 years... and if not, then a quick pressure wash and back to new

I would take a scrap piece and scratch it with the back of a key.
Even ZURI, which can stand up to the key test, I do not suggest using a pressure washer on.
For most composites and PVC, you would simply micro-abrasion the surface and lead to the product getting dirtier faster.

Usual prescription is hose down twice a year, once to remove pollen in the spring and again to remove leaf mold/grime in the fall. A soft bristle brush for any tough spots, and follow manufacturers' most updated tech bulletins on removing pitch/etc.

I find the manufacturers and some of the salespeople tend to oversell a product. Trex will state that it is great for a wet application like docks, but both our Meredith and Hampton stores carry PVC decking for that application. Much lighter weight and impervious to moisture.

We also find that we have issues with rail systems that get clogged weep holes over time.
