Looking at a hardwood prefinished floor with what looks like a thin layer of wax, may be mop and glow or something similar . I am wondering what is the best way to remove this .

Lightly mist hydro force heavy duty wood fresh cleaner, scrub with a crb, extract with a gekko at 200 psi

There's a company here that removes the original finish and puts a new one on. Trying to remove the wax finish will probably damage the factory finish.

Using an paint filter was probably your mistake. Jobs like this, you’ll just need to clean out your waste tank at the end of the day

I dealt with one like this in February by using the CRB then a 175. The tile brush on the CRB with neutral cleaner to really scrub the soil out, then the 175 with a red pad and light misting of water to scrub off whatever flakiness remains.

It takes time but does not hurt the finish. In fact, it leaves the finish well compounded and glowing.
