Cactus,

Welcome. I've used Sikkens HLS with some effect. The Sikkens Cetol looks nice but weathers badly in my opinion. No experience with spa n deck sorry.

gday mate as a painter having used both products, i find the spa and deck doesnt have to be recoated as often. generally we leave kwila up to 6 months then wash with a oxalic acid. up here in the tropics you wouldnt even thin of using a oil based product outside just turns black.

There's a long sticky thread on deck cleaning and oiling over on the sister renovation forums. Cleaning and Oiling your Deck (http://www.renovateforum.com/f196/cleaning-oiling-your-deck-75429/)

Have a look there. Cutek cd50 also seems to get a good wrap but is pricey.
