Default Should you Sand and seal a Red cedar deck? crossed to Rec.Woodworking / home.repair

Just finishing installing a 1000 sqf red cedar deck at my house and I always
had it in the back of my head that I would give it a quick sand when I was
finished to remove the burrs and pencil marks, and then seal it with a Behr
waterproof finish.

Anyway I had a friend over that refinishes floors and asked him if he was
interested in giving it a quick sand, since he has the equipment and figured
it would only take 1-2 hrs, he said that the cedar shouldn't be sanded or
sealed. Thoughts?
