Using a pressure washer on wood isn’t going to rejuvenate the appearance of the lumber. The wood has faded and aged due to exposure to the elements. The only true way to make it look good ad crisp is to sand it down slightly, Then apply a sealant that prevents wakter, moisutre, etc from entering the pores of the wood. don’t sand the wood and then wait several weeks to seal it. Apply the sealant as quickly as possible. This will protect the wood for several years to come….
Good luck

Use a pressure washer with at least 4000psi to clean the redwood thouroughly. Alow it to dry for at least 48 hrs then stain it the color of choice and apply a sealer that is rated for outdoors per the manufacturers instructions. You can skip the stain step if you prefer the look of the unstained redwood.

They make a chemical made especially for that. I don’t know what it is. But really the first guy, high pressure washing, is the way to go.

simple just clean good,sand with a light sandpaper, if the wood has the color you like then just apply a coat or two of polyurethene,let dry and you have a new jacuzzi
