Normally you don't remove waxes by machine. It's possible if you're using a microfiber bonnet on a DRY pad but I've NEVER tried doing this with a Flex 3401 and wouldn't even consider it.
Most people that want to remove a wax by machine are doing it with a Porter Cable type dual action polisher with a stiff foam cutting pad and a microfiber bonnet over the pad. Looks like this,
Indigo Microfiber Bonnet and a Cyan, Hydro-Tech, 5.5" Foam Cutting Pad
Also, you only remove waxes that dry and it has to be a thin coat or it will just load up the face of the microfiber bonnet.
Here's my article on this topic in the car world but the same would apply to the Marine world.
How to use a microfiber bonnet to remove dried wax by machine
At this point, I'd recommend re-machine applying the wax as a fresh coat should loosen up any previously applied coat.
Allow the new coat to dry and then remove by hand using clean, microfiber towels.
Remember, thin coats are easy to remove and thick coats are going to be difficult plus simply waste product.
