There are so many different sealers it could be!  Therefore my advice is to pick the heaviest sealed area usually the edges and do a few tests to see what removes it best.  This will determine both the best method for you and give you a relatively accurate material cost together with labour time involved.  From this you can offer a decent price

Thanks for the reply Kev, is there any certain products you would recommend? i've read xylene can be used for acrylic based sealers? also i've heard paramose is a good product?

Thanks, Dan

Start with Kevin's Xtreme Clean and a heavy rotary, with a bit of honing powder. If that doesn't do it, try something with dichloromethane in it.
