Would this be good for a painted deck? It is an oil based paint stain.

If you can use a Powerwasher with the jets at 3 in from the deck then yes. But my guess is it it's too powerful and may remove some of the finish. However, I have only used it for pavers and it removes all the discoloration

Don't know, the piece I cleaned didn't have grease or oil stains. I used it to remove the gray patina that happens to teak when left out in the elements!

It's stain and paint stripper. Is your deck stained or painted? Logic would dictate.... I must say that's a HUGE undertaking. Having only seen your deck in my imagination, I think I'd consider sanding the larger, flat areas and using the stripper on the more intricate details, such as hand rails, etc.

Yes, this the best for taking a stain. I use it on piano finishing where I need a good consistency and where it cannot be obvious that there was a repair. For a deck I would probably use an 80 grit to sand. The finer the grit the lighter the repair will be as it will absorb less stain. 220 grit can be too fine on a piano or furniture. On a deck it is not so important but on furniture this filler sands out to a smooth repair unlike other fillers.

Probably not a good idea; think of this stuff as a water based stain. It would pretty much run everywhere.

I've only used on wood and so far it has done a great job. You could test a small spot to see if it leaves a stain on it.

To sound like a commercial .... I would try it on a small area first. This is an oil, and this one does have a hint of color. I have white counters in my kitchen and if I drop a few by accident I notice the color. I always clean up quickly. I'm afraid to tell you go ahead and it stain your furniture!! Great idea. Just be careful.

I would think you would have to use a paint on a wood stain. Even then you would probably have to do all four for a good match.

probably but it may leave a stain if it has some oils in it. the surface isn't plastic.

I'm not sure, I have never stained anything. But if it is anything like painting I would think so. I bought this to paint my house. I hope this helped.

It is finished with a light oil based stain. My guess is that you could paint it if you used some thing like Rustolium spray paint.

I found this sprayer to be quite effective with spraying watery liquids. I would be surprised if it would work well with an oil-based stain. Such a mixture would likely be too viscous to spray effectively. It would also likely be difficult to clean not only the nozzle and spraying mechanisms but also it could prove difficult to clean the container using an oil-based mixture.

I use it on my wooden deck every time and I've not had a problem. It doesn't even discolor it. Get a sheet of cement backer-board (used under floor tiling) to put underneath if you're worried.

Well, on the bottle it says "Cleans & Conditions, Softens, Resists Soiling, Buffs, Retards Waterspotting, Protects Against Sun, Safe for Leather & Vinyl". So...with that being said I would think that maybe it would help clean the oil stain but I'm not 100% sure. I might be worth a try.

We used it on the sides of our cabinets which were particle board with a coating and it took the stain just fine. You'd have to test it but my guess is that it would work.

You can certainly use it but it would be more convenient to use a sprayer with a larger reservoir capacity. As I stated in my review, I used this unit with undiluted deck stain and it worked just fine for a small surface.

I would say yes, it would dull the effects of the metallic paint. Since this is a wax it creates a barrier that will cause a slight clouding of any finish. I would really suggest this for only unpainted or stained woods since it will bring out the grains in those. I can't really see this working well for any painted finish. However, I would be happy to try it out and let you know how it reacts!
