You have answered yourself. 20M2 took you all day. So a 100M2 will take you 5 days.
The fact is I have been testing Diamond, SIC, Tynex, Winnex and Ceramic brushes for the last 3 1/2 years. I have conducted the tests on dozens of different floors with dozens of different grits of all the aforementioned different brushes on six different speed and weight machines. I know what works and what doesn't. Incidentally Ceramic NOT DIAMOND brushes work best on riven slate with a 40kg 400 rpm machine they absolutely out performed diamond brushes by a Country mile rated against 24, 36, 50, 100 and 220 grit.
I have 15 different grit Diamond brushes you can try whilst you are waiting for your stock. You are welcome to come and see them if you wish. Finally all testing proved the time process was reduced by over 40% when a stripper was applied to the floor first.
Finally return your unopened Aqua Mix Sealing & Coating Remover for a full refund. But they are only 3.785litre bottles not 5 litres.

Clever that one Kevin...very clever!
First you invent a scenario which I would probably never take on...but I fell into your sordid trap.
100sqm at 20sqm a day with a 4" brush...Ha Ha Ha Ha, even I wouldn,t be stupid enough.
However....100sqm using Aqua Mix Sealing and Coating Remover which doesn,t work would take me months!! Perhaps the 4" brush option IS a possibility after all.
I am sorry Kevin, ceramic will NEVER replace Diamond. Earlier this month I was in Verona at the stone show talking to several manufacturers about ceramic over diamond...they thought I was being very stupid. So, no, not even the brush manufacturers think like you. (Then again, you will probably advise them on the brush forum will you??)
Evidence of stupidity;
I have told you that I tried Aqua Mix Sealing and Coating Remover on a small area of Yorkshire stone with NO EFFECT, then you say "Send back the un-opened bottle for a refund"
Is it me?
?
I was going to do a floor this morning, but, I am off to bang my head against a wall. It is pointless having a serious discussion with you Kevin.
Oh, nearly forgot again, regarding my test.... and the dwell time you would like me to try??
Bearing in mind, I have got a day to do it!!
In conclusion...and I saved the best till last....
Use a stripper.....use the brush.....and Kevin says "It will reduce the time by 40%" (so we agree on something then???)
I rest my case.
No more questions your honour.
I would like to add a small note to this last comment.
I see this as good healthy banter. The debate didn't get nasty, just at some points things can get missed due to the lack of spoken words, typing is ok, but I feel face to face with feelings works better. Better still if you can use the product to verify what you are trying to prove.
Watch for the phots of todays job later tonight.
Who needs Coronation Street!!
