On my deck I have very old weathered semi transparent brown color stained wood for flooring and 2 yr weathered pressure treated wood(clear oil stain) for steps and banister.

I want to stain them even color red using Deckscapes. I am getting conflicting advice as to weather I should use SW Deck Wash or SW Stain and Sealer remover BEFORE applying the latex based Solid color Deckscape stain. My question

1. Can I just clean the deck thoroughly and apply stain or Do I need to remove the previous stains(could be oil or water)

I was told no primer is needed. Has any one used this product.Please advice.

Thanks in advance for the input.
