Then switched to Clean strip which was cheaper and worked approx. four times as good. Ditto on the gloves long pants & sleeves. I love it when people ask what color I'm gonna paint it merc geo

It is some nasty sh t. Let it sit for 5 to 10 then pressure wash off. It sprays on as a liquid then gels up. For really stubborn spots spray it on and use a scotch bite pad (with gloves)

Mine had more paint on it than yours. The paint on the top decks is pretty much burnt off so there isn't much work to do up there. Most of the original white paint washed off with the pressure washer. It was the primer that needed to be scraped off.
