If the t111 has been painted or stained with a solid body I would reccomend peel away paint stripper if that's the only option.

no, it has been done in a clear.however,some areas were not done last retreat, some have ben pressure washed unevenly leaving streaks, and some appears to have been treated over dirty siding. will a pressure wash get all this back to square one ya think??? I worry that their will be no uniformity?????

There are a few products out that will help restore the natural look, but I recommend cabot's problem solver.

Don't do this if you are not a good pressure washer though...you need a perfect end result especially if they want clear
We've had some success with a Flood product: Stripper Cleaner. I believe it is a sodium hydroxide based product. Does a nice job removing old semi -t's and clears. Use caution, its a bit strong. There are a host of other off-the-shelf products as well. Most are fairly easy to use. Spray it on -wash it off.
Sometimes a strong bleach solution 12.5% will do the trick without a stripping agent.
Use a semi-t or consider the Cabot Semi-solid. We've had good success with some of the Flood stains. Can be hard to find though.

any challenges with plants,windows,comp roofs in the use of theses products? i am bidding against two companies who just said wash it, retreat with oil base deck clear and I dont think it will look anywhere good at all in that direction, maybe shouldnt bid if I can't assure a good finished product
of course you need to wet everything down first, but that's just pressure washing 101any challenges with plants,windows,comp roofs in the use of theses products? i am bidding against two companies who just said wash it, retreat with oil base deck clear and I dont think it will look anywhere good at all in that direction, maybe shouldnt bid if I can't assure a good finished product
...you need to know all aspects of the job-if you're out of your league, don't do it...that's duh 101 (next door down)
