Thank you for your input but the dimples are absent after stripping & they only show up after wax is applied before any traffic is on itIf the dimpling is in a traffic pattern, it is from walking or wheeled carts with stuff stuck to the wheels. If it is everywhere it is a textured surface.
Either way all you can do is clean the old and put down new. In theory you could screen the finish and fill the low spots, but how many visits are they willing to pay for?

Are you sure the dimples are absent after stripping or just not visible because the area is not shiny. On a stripped and dried area you can use a drywall sanding sponge to lightly sand the surface. This will show you the contrast between the highs and lows. Then you will know for sure.the dimples are absent after stripping & they only show up after wax is applied
No I wouldn’t waste time screening either. Perhaps that wasn’t clear.As you described, it is exactly what you suspect. Heels. They will wear into the floor, and will appear because of the gloss you apply.
Even my Terrazzo floors in my churches have em. For goodness sake, no sand screening
Ok. So the dimples show up after waxing only. In the auto painting world we call those “Fish eyes” and it happens when there is moisture in the air lines. That being said, is the floor dry after you completed rinsing the stripper off and before applying the wax?Thank you for your input but the dimples are absent after stripping & they only show up after wax is applied before any traffic is on it
