Yes you need to strip the wax. When stripping the wax , I prefer to use a soft brush it last much longer than stripping pads and the waxes will not gum up the pad . the brush will coat anywhere from $150 top 200 depending upon where you purchase it. I would recommend using a 22 inch brush in the open areas. This gives you much better productivity.

CJ,
We use a waterbased stripper to remove wax from stone, in conjunction with a stripping pad (black) on a floor machine. Unless you remove the wax first, honing will not be effective.

When removing wax from a terrazzo floor, prior to honing and polishing, do you guys ever use a non-abrasive stripper or do you simply remove any existing wax by honing?
Reason for this question is I have been asked to use a non-abrasive stripper to remove wax prior to honing and polishing and I don't recall this being a suggested method in my training.
Also, have any of you guys successfully bid on a government job? I am working through one right now and access was limited to one short visit of job site and Im expected to go off their plans and pictures. If any of you have had to fight a battle similar to this and have advise I would appreciate it.
Thanks and I hope all is well and business is good for everyone!
