Bought a power washer the other day. We're planning to strip both the cedar deck and cedar fencing that currently has CWF-UV on the surface. Most of the surfaces with the CWF are either wearing off, fading or starting to flake. Already tried plain water in the power washer but it hardly put a dent in the CWF finish that was firmly fixed to the surface. Any recommendations what the best deck washing liquid cleaner product for removing most of the CWF?

A deck stripper with sodium hydroxide.

Watch the safety label carefully.
