Grain outdoor flooring

A couple of years back I applied a clear solution deck sealer on my Mahogany deck shortly before it rained. The fresh coat of deck sealer had only been on the deck a few hours before it began to rain. I quickly learned the impact of rushing a deck sealing project. For several months I walked on a tacky deck. A year later the tackiness had abated but the deck was a permanent, ugly mess. To restore the deck to its original beauty I recently applied a deck cleaner solution to it and sanded the deck to remove the old deck sealer. Grain outdoor flooring
Prior to sanding the wood deck I first swept it and then applied a deck cleaner solution. The deck cleaner solution removed the mold and mildew that had collected on the deck, however it really faded the deck out to almost a white color. In addition, I also checked the deck for any popped nails. It is absolutely imperative to make sure that all of the nails or screws are countersunk into the wood deck before using a floor sander on it.
If you do not countersink the nails/screws you will spend a fortune on sandpaper, possibly damage the floor sander and will not be able to properly sand the deck.
After the deck was thoroughly dry, I rented the orbital floor sander and began the painstakingly slow task of sanding the deck. To be honest, it only took a day to sand the entire deck. However, I ran the sander for about 8 solid hours to restore about 700 square feet of deck surface. Sander decking
I have one word of caution before hitting the on switch. Wear work gloves and be prepared for the floor sander to have a mind of its own. It is similar to walking a large dog. It takes some energy to get the floor sander moving in the direction that you want, and it can occasionally pull itself in a direction that you were not planning to have it go. Simply put, watch your walls. Floor sanders can put some rather large dents in walls if not properly controlled.
Thanks for all the responses. The only product ever considered was the Penofin Hardwood Formula, but I have heard good things about Messmers. We are going to sand off the stain not re-apply. I have heard of guys using floor sanders, but I have never used one before and don't want to practice on a clients home. I have a few "maintenance decks that I do every couple of years and that keeps me constantly on the mind of the HO, which leads to jobs which may have not otherwise happened. Also keeps my sign in all the nice neighborhoods that I try to dominate.
Problem is that flooring is nailed in the grooves on the side of each board (or glued, depending on each kind) while decking is nailed or screwed on the face of each board. One would have to be extremely careful not to damage the sanding maching disk if one were to engage a screw or nail head.
