I have a 48x32 pole barn with a concrete floor that was poured on 5/21. 4 weeks later it was sealed. I will be using the space as a mechanic's shop so I told the contractor I wanted as much protection against stains as possible, but he ended up using Deco Guard which gives no protection at all and only repels water. I bought a used 4 post lift and the hydraulic fluid leaked out causing a bunch of stains. I need to remove the sealer and as much of the stains as I can. Everyone is telling me to do a coating but the floor will get some serious abuse so I'm thinking of using PS103 followed by PS100. The current sealer was thinned with Xylene so I'm going to try and strip it with Xylene. I'll rent a machine and polish the floor as best as I can so the densifier and sealer have the best shot at repelling oil and other chemicals.
I ordered a colored floor, like a sandy beach floor. I got red-brown...
Not what I asked for but doesn't look that bad either. If I end up with a coating instead lf a sealer then I would change the color. That doesn't seem feasible with a sealer.
I love the idea of s polyaspartic that will prevent staining but I'd be nervous doing actual work in there. First picture is without sealer. The others are with. What would you do?

I’d start by talking to the manufacturer of what’s been applied find out what is best to remove it and what what you want to put down, make sure there won’t be an issue. Good luck
