The redwood slats and rails on my decks need to be redone and I'm hoping for some advice. They were last coated two years ago with a Cabot oil based semitransparent stain. I live on the ocean so we get lots of salt, wind, sun and fog. Stains seem to last between 2-4 years.
My first question is about stripping the slats. I was going to use your recommendations for Restore A Deck-using a firm nylon brush to apply- but local ordinances prevent me from using a pressure washer to clean off the stripper. Will the garden hose work despite the lower pressure?
Do you have any suggestions?

I was worried about that. Guess I'll sand down what I can. Thanks for the quick response.
One last question. If I used an oil based stain two years ago, do I have to strip off the old stain to reapply a new stain by a different company? I used Cabot and plan on now using TWP 1500. I know some areas won't look great but ....
