Homeowner Question? Deck Stain Advice

Look John.. I would just like it if you could be clear here on which of the 3 products on Olympic's 'toner' section that you have been refering to. All three have the word toner on the can. One is predominately a green colored can (max) and another has Toner written in big bold lettering... 1,2, or 3 please...
Thanx now

Color is simple redwood color.

Lol I've never actually seen anything other than the green can Oly Max Toner (1) - OK?

The "shiny" pic does not look like Oly Max Toner, but the lighter fence does. The stuff in the green can really tints the wood, though it does offer UV protection and won't (really!) gray for 3 years. When re-coating is need, downstream stripper to remove or even add a second coat after a low-pressure wash. The only complaint I have ever gotten is that its not dark enough, though that is very rare.

Ok, I've engaged a pro because I conceded that I don't have the time to do this right. The deck has been washed and the pro is waiting for the evening thundershowers to give us a break.

I am feeling a little concerned about some of what I am seeing as a result of the cleaning. I am not sure how concerned I should be since I've never been through this process before. The pro has not seen it since it dried, so I don't know their stance yet.

I'm not going to include what I think - I'd like to get some detached professional opinions.

Any advice?

Thanks
