I have two questions:
I cleaned a composite deck (older type) and unveiled some spots (lighter colored than surrounds). These spots looks like something was splashed onto the deck and it ate into the texture very slightly. There is another area where the color and texture are similar but over the entire board (almost like high pressure was used and chewed off the surface slightly on those boards). We used a 4% SH/elemonator mix and low pressure clean. The spots also appear on a pool deck that we didn't touch (but harder to see since it hasn't been cleaned in awhile). The only guesses by the homeowner on what could have been spilled are marinade, sunscreen lotion, and wasp spray. I can't seem to post pictures, but does anyone have any advice based on the description?
2ndly, I'm bidding a concrete paver patio that had been previously sealed with Quikrete Wetlook High Gloss sealer. Still has a little shine to it. What's the best way to strip this and/or prep for a new coat? Do deck strippers work for pavers or will they adversely affect the color of the substrate?
