Removal of a curing membrane coating?

My slab was poured Oct of 2024. I was told that 4 weeks in the sun would remove the coating, the UV destroys it. We built on it in March of 2025, so it was out in the Nevada sun for 5 months. But, water still beads up on the floor, so I'm told that I can't use a penetrating sealer until it's removed. It's a WRMeadows 1100 product, I called them and of course they make a remover and a wash after the remover. But it doubles the cost of the floor. I have to believe that there is a reasonable method of removal that doesn't require special products.
Any thoughts?

I agree with Chris705, power washing is your best bet. Dissipating sealers really don't dissipate without a little help.
