I applied the stripper and it worked in some areas but not as well in others. I plan to re apply and stiff brush it in this 2nd time. leave on for a full 30minutes and then power wash it off. Any other suggestions? Thanks

The second section was completed last year and looks very goo. The one with the herbs on it

It looks like you removed most of the old stain. I would just spot-apply to the areas that are worse, then pressure-wash those areas after 15 minutes. Rinse well when done, Brighten all wood after to even out the pH balance.
