I stripped the floor and the finish is still there

[Kevin]

How many times has this happened to you. Some reasons why
1-#1 cause is that you did not wait long enough for stripper to penetrate finish. (don't rush it give it 15 minutes) I like to do a coat of stripper over the entire area to be cleaned for starters, wait 15 minutes then using the buddy system, a lead bucket man soaking the area again, ahead of me before I start with the floor machine.
2-Not enough stripper in your solution. You are trying to cut costs, I prefer an extra amount of stripper.
3-You or the person doing the removal with the vacuum is not taking their time.. slow down
4-You mix of water and stripper. The water is not hot enough, use the hottest water available
5-Your floor pad is not up to the task, its covered in wax, flip it, and change it as needed.
Just some basic tips, more to follow
