Just wondering, as I did a search, any suggestions on how to remove deck stain on vinyl siding? I have not tried bleach as of yet, but so far it has not come off.

I put down Behr natural clear Premium Weatherproofing Wood Finish for the customer. I did see some where else since posting .. acetone wiped on, gojo and other offerings...

Any other suggestions??

I have used GOOF OFF with good results.
Why would you even try bleach?

First of all, you should be whipped with a wet noodle for putting that stuff (biting my tongue!!) on someone's deck. If you use stripper on it it will take it off. Wear gloves and use a rag that was soaked in stripper. Always keep mineral spirits and rags with you when staining so you can wipe it off right away easily. DO NOT STORE RAGS SOAKED IN MINERAL SPIRITS IN AN ENCLOSED CONTAINER OR THEY WILL START A FIRE!

Please do this industry and your customers a huge favor and don't use Behr!
Use TWP, Ready Seal, Wood Tux or something not bought at a hardware store. P L E A S E ! ! ! ! !

Has anyone heard about the upcoming changes to TWP's formula this year to comply with VOC standards? I was told by a client today that they are supposed to be changing formulas again in the next month or so.

I haven't heard anything yet.
 
Acetone should work, get a gallon and keep it with you, it comes in handy, it and thinner.
 
Next question...what type of siding? Aluminum or vinyl? If vinyl, Goof Off will work well. If aluminum, be very careful, as anything you put on to remove it (capable of removing it), will eventually begin to remove the finish that is baked on to the aluminum.
