Wax and Polyurethane Don't Mix

I like to think of myself as an average to above average home improvement DIY kind of guy.  Usually I think my work turns out nice looking, relatively goof-up free, and able to withstand the test of time - until last weekend.  I decided to refinish my kitchen floors after learning that cleaning them was an exercise in futility and a wax based floor rejuvenator didn't appear to have any effect on the square foot of floor I applied it to.  My mistake was precisely this.  I applied wax to a square foot section of floor prior to refinishing.  I didn't realize the wax was being smeared around the floor on the bottom of the ridiculously fun orbital sander I rented.  Son of a bitch.  Polyurethane does *not* like wax.  I even knew this already, but I didn't think the amount I put on could cause quite so much havoc.  Now the floor has serious issues, and I think the areas where wax was smeared around will quickly degrade in appearance even further.  I need to figure out what my recovery options are.  Probably industrial strength wax remover after scraping down a few layers?  Any suggestions are appreciated.  My back is already aching just thinking about having to fix this.
