I pressure washed my old deck in preperation for solid staining. Now the pressure washer has raised little "hairs" of wood in many areas of the deck. Should I lightly sand to remove these hairs and potential slivers? Should I then dust with a rag moistened with paint thinner? Thanks for the help

That sounds about right. The dust shouldn't give you too much trouble but.....MJH

Sand those down before you apply any type of product on it.
Will come off pretty easy you don't need any type of power sander (in most cases).

Thanks for all the help. I got the job done and it looks GREAT! The neighors on both sides have commented on how good it looks.
