what you want to do is give it a quick wash with a 50 50 mix of muriatic acid and water to etch the surface, then get a high quality concrete paint and paint it. if you dont etch, the paint will chip and peal too easily
dont bother trying to buff it.... its futile |
I found one link that said this...
| quote: | | Concrete is fast becoming the ultimate no-wax flooring material. Thanks to recent advantages in polishing equipment and techniques, We can now grind concrete floor surfaces, whether new, or old, to a high gloss finish that never needs waxing or coatings. Factor in the super durability and performance of concrete, it is no wonder why retail, warehouse and office facilities are opting for polished concrete floors over marble, granite, tile or linoleum. Homeowners are also catching on to these smooth, high luster floors, which can be stained to replicate the look of polished stone. |
...however i don't know what kind of equiptment this would require.
I do just happen to have a half-gallon of muriatic acid although i'd have to do some reading before i dared use it. If it eats through concrete i imagine it's probably somewhat dangerous.
