fence problems

hello everyone.

i am softwashing my fence using a 2% mix with Green wash.  as i began to softwash it i notice a hint of orangish brown coming off the fence. Upon further inspection of my fence i noticed it has this white crumbly stuff all over it. if i scrub it with a brush it seams to come off but would take all day. do you all think that is some type of paint or other coating thats coming off. I am not the one that had the fence built so i do not know if the previous owners put a coating on it. Could it be the pressure treated wood from home depot? what went wrong?

Sounds like it's a stain not a paint

its the whole fence that is doing it. its the white that is coming off. You can see in the pictures where I scrubbed with a brush.

Looks like a Thompson water seal type product or something eurathane clear coat that was old and being stripped off.

Not sure as wood is very different from job to job. Sometimes we use a 3 or 4 percent mix on really nasty wood. There is a process and something like that I would do a test spot to see results.
