It's easier if you freeze dry it first.

Oh my gawd, I went to bed and didn’t see the last half of this movie
Mikey, your #wrong about spp pad not stripping finish off. But, that’s what I use both for. If I use one or the other and it don’t get all the finish off, I can resort to the other to accomplish the strip. You can order special prep pads online.
Your on the right track with the square scrub approach. If you have the 175, you can use that in conjunction with the square.

We dust mop very well then use a stripper we've always used and lay it down, let it sit, 175, then mop, let dry and apply at a minimum 3 layers (preferably 5) of a sealer of choice for client

Of course your going to vacuum, you can’t do a strip without vacuuming. And your going to mop after you vacuum to neutralize.

If your not vacuuming your slurry, your making a mistake. You can’t mop it clean enough. But to each their own. Vacuuming will save an enormous amount of time too.
After you neutralize, then you speed dry with fans.

Vacuuming by itself sucks. You still have to neutralize the floor before applying finish. Better to use an old portable and hard surface tool to rinse and vacuum the slurry. Much faster.

I would hope you Don’t use your truck mount hose for that. At the very least use a wet vac with a wet floor tool.

Been using an old ninja portable for years. No ill effects. Of course I clean the machine and hoses after a vct job.

Look on eBay or Craig’s list. I got mine off eBay under floor sanders.

One more thing, sealer is old school and I like to use it too. But, with the bid your partner gave, I’d skip that. It’s really not necessary especially in dorm rooms. Also, if you do it again, hopefully you will, it’ll be hard to remove, especially with a square scrub. 5 coats is Not necessary either. Good look
As Kenny mentioned, vacuum up your slurry, flood with mop of clean water (about the same as when applying the stripper). If you have a good sqeegee and good technique with the shop vac final mopping will be minimal and the floor will dry quicker.

I would get a small autoscrubber, like a 14-15inch one. Get a cleaning product designed for use prior to recoat, so it removes some wax and takes the dirt out it. Scrub it and recoat. Easy. You arnt gonna take up much wax with a square scrub in a small amount of time. Most people have alot of problems with them shaking themselves apart. Bearing problems and stuff. I tried one but didn't really like it.

All the poor guy asked was if anybody has a square scrub to sell.
And he got advise varying from how to pan for gold in the Sahara to what not to do against the wind.
Sorry. No. I don't have a square scrub to sell.
Can I offer you good advice about something?
Anything?

You can go to a Home Depot rental and get the Clarke American machine that has a built in Vac. I have one and you can use it dry or unhook the vac hoses on a wet scrub and come back with vac to pick up slurry. The easy way has been mentioned to buy some SPP pads for your 17 or 20 in orbital and dry or wet TOP STRIP. Rinse a couple of times and lay a couple of coats of finish as it will gloss up quickly because you still have a good base underneath. You can wow them with a lot less labor.
