Brighten the wood after the stripping. Stain with TWP 100 Series or the Armstrong Clark.

I want to stain and preserve it as it is starting to show some wear, and we live on the Oregon coast which is very wet. Can I just clean it and apply a good stain? I would think you wouldn't want to strip what's left of the original stain/preservative which is still present. Thanks. Lance.
