I made a deck (redwood) years ago and used it for maybe fifteen years. I tried three for four stain products and finally settled on one that was clearly better than the others. Something else I did was turn the planks over to expose the underside which was in good condition. Since my deck was only 12x12, I also belt sanded the upward facing sides a couple of times. I've mentioned the stain/preservative product I used a couple of times in other deck threads. The product was Total Wood Preservative (TWP). In CA they have to sell the water based version now, but I originally was able to buy the oil based. If you decide to try it, I'd look for a source of the oil based version. It's not cheap, but not exorbitant and one of those situations where you get what you pay for.
