Well, after stripping and cleaning one half the deck yesterday, MY Jane and I have almost come to the conclusion that we will not re-seal the wood.
The part on the right is done and the left side shows the deck with the stripper having just been applied.
Once we got both sides stripped of sealant, we applied a brightener/cleaner and then scrubbed it with a bristle brush. After that, one more power wash and it came out looking pretty good.
