Vinyl is inexpensive, just swap out the ruined panels.

Worlds Greatest Graffiti Remover Wipes. I picked up samples at the NJ event. They saved me twice. We got some stain on brand new pavers, 2 quarter size stains. It came right out. Pavers are less forgiving than vinyl.

Presuming the vinyl on your home is still available, Zach nailed it. Goof Off will work as well, BUT it will likely change the sheen of the vinyl for a few years. Just swap it out. Problem solved. Of course Ed knows his stuff as always.

This is exactly why we don't stain decks as part of our service offering. The margins and the liability just don't fit our business model.

Luckily, I have few pieces left over. I'll try Goof Off tomorrow and hope it works....

We do decks. A real love hate relationship. We've learned by screwing up so many.

Like Gary said, gasoline can work surprisingly well. That would be my first shot.

If you lose the sheen rub car wax over it were you use the goof off.

I just recently built this deck. I made two mistakes...used pressure treated wood...the second was staining it...anybody have a match?

Ugly Shingles LLC · May 17, 2013

Okay...tried the gas! Seems to work a little, but it's dark so it's hard to tell. This might be the answer..

When the gasoline is on the siding you are supposed to light it. This fires up the bleaching.

gutterdog · May 17, 2013

Enhances the bleaching effect.

The custmer will say they never expected this level of quality!

If its fresh stain try lacquer thinner or HD sell Graffiti spray. Put it on a rag and rub lightly. Don't use Goof Off! Also you put blue siding on your home, What no green?
