Strip off what you can using the Restore A Deck Stripper and these additves: https://www.deckstainhelp.com/restore-a-deck-stain-stripper-booster-thickening-gel-review/

Sand off what the stripper cannot get off. Behr can be hard to strip fully. Brighten all wood when done.

First of all, great site!

We have a white cedar deck in the Seattle area.

Probably last stained 5 years ago using Behr Semi-Transparent Waterproofing Wood Stain.

Used Wet & Forget and lightly pressure washed this spring knowing I would be re-staining this summer.

Best advice to remove remaining stain and brighten before staining again? Pictures should be attached.

Thanks for the help.
