Recommended paint stripper to remove decking paint?

Want to remove all the paint from our decking so we can move to staining instead.
However using the pressure washer a lot of the paint remains. I've had a google and seen to use paint stripper, leave to rest for 15 minutes and then pressure wash.

Has anyone done this and can anyone recommend a decent paint stripper for the job?

    Thinking outside the box, you might be able to remove the screws and turn the boards over

    Yep - sounds liek a job for chemical paint stripper. I guess whatever is the cheapest for the quantity you need...

    Peel tec.
    Or cheap way will be a heat gun but might not be easy work.

    Paint stripper is not as good as it used to be (edited)
