Your deck is relatively small and guessing it's the only one you
have.

Has to be rented I suppose. Not worth it for your one small deck.

That's what I would suggest.

I have heard that it works but am skeptical.

That stuff is OK but just OK. have read in other posts that it is a
waxy type finish which will come off on your clothes and such also
that it has to be replaced often.

you ask for a penetrating stain at the paint store. You can get it
tinted different colors. Apply by whatever means neccessary. use a
roller to get the stain on then then use a brush to even out and work
into the cracks. Most everyone ignores the underneath esp if it is
not visible. If you want to do it then that's your deck. If you want
more protection then spar varnish or exterior polyeruathane are used.
Take your business to a real paint store.
