HOW DOES ONE GET POLISHED FINISH ON CONCRETE SURFACE?
This requires labor-intensive work and careful timing. First the concrete is leveled, then bull floated to bring the cream to the top. When the water sheen has disappeared, you must begin repeatedly troweling the slab with a rectangular steel trowel. Repeated steel troweling on firm yet still wet concrete gives it the polished finish. You kneel on a square of plywood while doing this and step to a second square of plywood when you must move. And you must move quickly before the concrete sets too firmly. In other words, this is usually a job for an experienced professional.
