Above is an example of how somebody can get too close to wood on a deck or fence when they are Pressure-washing the wood. This is not a wanted outcome. You should be cleaning wood using a 25 degree tip. If you are inexperienced and you cut into your wood or somebody else's, you are going to need to fix a mistake like this. The only way is to use a 80 grit piece of sandpaper and when the wood is dry, lightly sand.
This kind of damage can be repaired with simple sanding. If the cuts were much deeper, there may be a need to replace the wood board where the damage occurred. All wood should be cleaned gently and efficiently, and the best way to do that is by applying gentle pressure during the cleaning process, using proper soaps and light chemicals, and then finishing with a high-quality water sealant.
