How do I polish my interior concrete floors?

Question

Six months ago the concrete in my condo was acid cleaned, etched, and then painted with standard flat concrete paint.

I would like to find instructions for a "Do It Yourself" project -- removing the concrete paint via grinding...and then polishing the concrete floors in my condo.

I don't want to attend a class or seminar...just detailed instructions on what to rent / buy and what to do! Any pointers...?

Answer 1

Sad that...I'll assume whoever did the job wasn't very knowledgeable about the likely results.

Pressure washing, grinding, sanding, scraping; all will have some effect. If the paint had any "Stain" properties, some residual color may remain? You might ask what TYPE of concrete paint; IE: Oil/Epoxy/or a latex base.

POLISHING would mean sealing them first after cleaning, much like what's done in warehouses and big box stores. That sealer, either a clear epoxy, or poly wouldn't need polishing after the fact.

Rent a concrete grinder (is dirty proses) but it dose make level by grinding uneven sections and also make smooth surface .
