Do not powerwash any outdoor project.

Thank you. Watching their video now. Will probably have more questions then :)

I was hoping to use Sikkens, as it is well received by the boards and it is locally available in a brick-and-mortar store in my area. What prep steps would you recommend I follow if I use Sikkens ? Also, what are your thoughts on Sikkens?

Never used it. Same prep. J.

Are there any products comparable to Woodrich's step 1 and step 2 that I can buy locally?

Nope. Depending on the behr finish on there its most likely it will take md 80. Even then some sanding with an orbital will be needed.

You have everything you need a click away. Use It. J.

Thank you for the input! Thats what I will do.

Last question - would the woodrich cleaner get rid of the solid stain/paint that I currently have on this deck? I just checked, it is a Cabot stain (not a behr stain like I previously mentioned).

The citric base stripper is good for finish thats not real heavey. Yours is very heavey in fact its like paint. From this far away I am thinking md80,as I said before,is what your gunna have to use.

Follow the instrustions on the site and the container this stuff as a little rugged,not all that great on plants, and not real good on You done incorectley. J.

I just used the Woodrich deck cleaner and it worked great. It took a couple applications to get all the gunk up (been 7 years) but did a great job!

Al and All you cant beat those guy's. Pretty good outfit. J.
