I've been asked to clean a drive which has previously been sealed (unknown products) Could anyone point me out in the right direction of removing an unknown sealer? pics posted below.  Many Thanks

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.
