You may be able to remove it with a pressure washer. I used this product also, hated it but left it for that summer. Last spring I knew it had to go so I got out the pressure washer and it came off in big strips so it was easy to remove.

  I know this is late in the game, but When Rescue first came out, used it, had issues the following season, all they did was give me more rescue it then the lawsuit, and unfortunately, since they "compensated me" with more rescue it, i followed through the lawsuit and they said i had to obtain a quote from a union carpenter with agreement to have deck redone. this of course lead to beating a dead giant.... As season went by, like 3-4 now im looking to re-do this deck again and have some areas that wont peel off, it looks terrible, the olympic product was terrible, the support to have this terrible.... im reading jomax and cirtus is a good start of removing this... good luck,
