20 Year old Quarry tile blotchy where sealer "disappeared" - Tile Advice

[tulevskc]

when my quarry tile is wet the water beads in only some areas. when the tile is dry it looks blotchy....matt finish vs satin finish (where the sealant still is). I have sanded, stripped, etc. and the remaining sealant will not come off. I scraped with a razor blade and nothing happens. Can I use paste wax to shine up the floor and eliminate the blotchiness? the tile is indoors and I do not want to get into acids.

Isn't there any way to do something WITHOUT removing the old sealant?

Actually the product is available in Canada. But I am looking for a "short cut"....something less intensive. I read somewhere about using paste wax but I am unsure if the person posting that (not this site) knew what they were talking about
