Maybe get a orbital sander, but if you use an floor sander make sure the nails or screws are recessed so the belt won't snag and use a high grit paper
If you go through all that. I would use a top quality stain such as Sikken DEK 2 coat process. It will look like a piece of nice stained furniture specially if you spend the time sanding the deck. But the stain is about $50 a gallon. I feel waterproofing doesn't really protect your deck will fade in a year.
Happy Staining
