How do I remove sealer from vinyl siding? I got my brother to help me stain and seal my fence about a month ago. It got all over my house and a small section of my neighbors'. We tried to clean up the stain on the siding with mineral spirits and Goof Off. Now the finish has a nice glossy sheen to it. I would like that gone. I've used Goof Off, mineral spirits, and gasoline. Nothing seems to get the stuff off. It keeps smearing a thin layer of stain. Please help.

for hard spots use fingernail polish remover it does wonders on just about any type of stain and spill (acetone)
None of that garbage works dont waste your time or money like I did. The only thing that works is Acetone. Put some on a green scrubbing pad and that's it you'll be done in half the time.
Did it mess the color of your siding up
This works like a charm. So simple. Make sure it is acetone nail polish remover. Thanks!
We tried everything - acetone, alcohol, mineral spirits ++ - finally found something! Spray Nine OrangeLightning along with a Scotch Brite pad and then water rinse. Worked very well!

Looking for something to remove redwood stain from vinyl siding. Previous owners slapped it on a deck and it is all over and I mean all over the vinyl siding. I don't want to damage the siding. I am not sure if the stain is a latex or oil base, but really believe it to be water based.
Would a power washer remove the stain? You may need to add a cleaner to the washer. How about trying a strong solution of trisodium phosphate with the power washer? (11/29/2007)
