So are you saying that the strippers you used are not removing the polish? The floor in the picture looks as though it still has polish on.

If you have used a stripper and made sure that you have removed the polish then I would say that you have plasticied migration where the black marks have etched into the vinyl. That means that you have done all that you can. The yellowing can also come from pine gel cleaner which attacks the vinyl.
Starts at the bottom likes it and stays there

Hi yes this was the end result it's part of a maintenance program we have just stripped and sealed it but a lot of the vinyl has yellowing?
I was wondering if there is anything you can think of that will help remove the yellowing during stripping?
Thanks

Looks to me like you have not completely stripped and cleaned the floor before applying your seal. Try using carefree super strip and surface preparation pads rather than black ones.

Do you know anywhere online that stocks them pads individually
I can only find them in a 10pk ?
