DRose

I have a cedar fence that was installed 1 year ago. I wasn't able to get it stained last year. It is on the borderline of starting to turn a little gray in parts. I am talking to a fence staining contractor about staining it now. He is suggesting that he use Sherwin Williams SuperDeck Revive to clean the gray off before applying the stain. He told me he can do the cleaning during the same trip as the stain. He says that it's not a problem to have the wood wet from hosing off the Revive when he puts on the stain. The stain instructions say that the wood needs to be dry. I realize that "time is money" and he wants to be price competitive. My questions are these: 1. Will his method give me a good and lasting result? 2. The Revive product info says it needs to be neutralized with the Sherwin Williams Deck Wash but he will just be using water to wash it off. Is that a problem? 3. The neighbor behind me has stained his side of the fence. Will the SuperDeck Revive product damage my neighbor's stain job? Thanks for your help.
