We will reply to your comment shortly· 10/24/2019I have a deck KDAT wood deck that was installed about a year and a half ago and stained with AC Amber stain. It has been holding up very well, but I want to be sure to stay ahead of the game in terms of re-staining. I believe the counsel you offered was to re-stain within 1.5 to 2 years, and then every 3 to 5 years thereafter (depending on the conditions).
1) Is this understanding correct?
2) If so, at this point, I would like to just clean the deck and handrail surfaces, and then perform the two-step prep process in about 6 to 9 months before re-staining. Can I just use the step one AC cleaner product, and then use both step one and step two just before re-staining later? I just want to be sure that the cleaner will not remove any of the original stains' UV and other protections.
3) Will the cleaner and/or brightener harm painted metal spindles and post caps in the railing?
4) Also, will it be best to wait to do the cleaning until after all the leaves are down (to remove any staining caused by fallen leaves that are not removed immediately)?
Thank you for your advice.
