OK, we tried a few different things, but what worked well and quickly was a dry 400 velocity pad on a pad driver. Took off all of the excess but left a honed finish with a nice sheen.
FYI. You are required by law to have every MSDS at you fingertips. Make sure you have copies in your shop, office and trucks.Brian Kornet

They changed about 3 years ago. They just carry the Superior label.

Superior sealers are sold by Tile Shop stores. The manufacturer is from Michigan if that will help you.
Again, we used on that staff alkaline stripper and it worked, you can also use Betco Ax-it stripper since it is honed finish. There is no need to use MEC
To achieve wet look buff the enhancer in and remember that a little sealer like that goes long way (thicker coat will dry slower).

Ok. All great advice. I am going to the Tile Store now to get MSDS
sheets. On-line the Tile Store recommended treating with their
Pro-strip ( I checked that MSDS and it is a blend of Meth Chlor and
other typical stuff). They also recommend it for Aqua-mix enhance n
shine. Aqua- mix recommends nano-scrub but used the exact same
language, so probably is same stuff/same company. Still can't get the
MSDS sheet for the original sealer online.
