I used Behr solid stain on one rail section of my deck. I'm not pleased with the results and need to remove it.Would like to replace with cedar color semi trans.It's been on less than a week and is a cream white color.

What's the best way to remove from rail and spindle.

What's the best semi stain to use in MI.

I have water that stays on a portion of the deck after the sprinklers run and it's a very large area.

Thanks for any advice anyone can offer.
