How to remove pentra guard

Well the owner of the building told me today that he doesnt want any type of floor finish at all and wants me to remove it. I first tried a wax stripper which really didnt remove too much of it, it just dulled it down a lot. So I tried grinding off starting with 400 resins and after that didnt work I moved down to 100 grits with zero success. My last resort is to start all over again with 40 metals. Will 40 metals even grind this stuff off though is what I need to know. Any of you ever remove this stuff before?
