I have a cedar deck that I used Sikkens Proluxe Cetol 1 RE on 3 years ago. I wanted to recoat it this year. My local hardware store recommended that I use Olympic Deck Cleaner which I did. Now it’s removing the Sikkens product on much of my deck. It’s loosened, bubbled or stripped in some areas and seems untouched in others. What would you suggest that I do now?
Strip it all down so the wood is bare and then brighten last. This will give an even appearance when you recoat.
