I applied Sikkens Cetol SRD last year to a new deck. Followed all instructions. It repels water very well, but its not the look we were looking for. Very dull and always looks dirty. I know it says you cannot apply a 2nd coat. But is there anything I can do to give it a more more shiny look? Or another Sikkens product I can apply over this one?

A shiny look on decks is not a good idea: http://www.deckstainhelp.com/why-deck-stain-cannot-be-shiny/
Dirty is more of a result of the Sikkens. You could strip it off and try a different stain like TWP.

I really don't have the time to strip it this year the deck is very, very large. That's the main reason I used Sikkens because it was supposed to last so long. Is there anything I can do to prevent it from building up so much dirt? I mean if someone walks down on the grass, or the dog, comes on the deck nothing but prints like they were playing in a muddy field. Or even if you walk on the sidewalk and come on the deck, all dirty foot prints.
