Overapplied deck stain

Hey guys, 

I made the rookie mistake of not reading directions! I applied multiple coats of way too much transparent deck stain without wiping away excess with a cloth as I went. It now has a glossy "wet" look and sticky/tacky finish. There are some blotchy areas that I would imagine could be scraped up with the proper chemical/tool of some sort. My goal is obviously to have a uniform natural look that the stain was meant to have. I've read that mineral spirits and steel wool is recommended. Do I mix the mineral spirits with anything? Any advice would be much appreciated!
