Cedar Deck stained with RS Pecan

[Patrick Rhea 15]

So far, I am not super thrilled about my project. Stripped the existing sealer with F-18 then brightened with F-8. It looked pretty good after stripping and neutralizing. I just don't like how the RS is looking a bit blotchy and dark on some of the wood on the first coat? It does not seem normal to me? Any feedback from an RS expert? It is almost like the stripper residue is left behind or something on some of the boards?

Did we not strip this old cedar to a good stainable level?
