Please give me directions on sanding and top coating an oak floor. It’s mostly in good condition. It has been under a rug for the past 25 years.

I have put down four coats, but I can still see dry/light spots

I am using Z** Ultra Max waterborne oil modified polyurethane to cover my new hardwood floor (approx. 1900 sq. ft.). I have put down four coats, and I can still see light colored spots where it appears the finish has been “sucked up” into the wood. I have gone over these “dry patches” a few times individually, and they are still a lighter color that makes the surface look like it is dry in that area.
