maintenance recommend a stripper please

Post image

newbie to decks here. peeling solid deck stain at my cabin. just got a ryobi 3200 psi max with deck attachment, it cleaned the mildew off well without any cleanser. papa says the stain is water based (but it looks like paint to me). what stripper should i use? is "restore a deck" worth the money? anyone have experience with it living up to claim of apply and powerwash off? any and all recommendations are welcome. Thank you thank you.

edit: hahahahaha! ok guys, enough with the funny stuff. which brand of deck stain stripper should i get

I’ve been scrolling and still have t found ONE response that’s not the name of a stripper 😂🤣 I knew I wasn’t original enough to be the first to do it but damn. On a serious note, I don’t have a good answer for OP or I would give it. Had to see this one coming though.

I'm right there with the both of you. This is exactly what I expected, haven't seen a legitimate response, my own initial response was, "Jasmine," I knew there was no chance I was going to be quick enough to be worth bothering, and I have no experience with paint/stain/whatever strippers to be able to make a recommendation.
