I have yet to see someone with no training whatsoever pull off concrete polishing like a pro. Nevertheless, a lot of people have asked me how concrete polishing works, in the hope of learning enough to be able to do it themselves. To these people I would say this; you're wasting your time. If you want to do some concrete polishing in your home, the best idea is still to hire an experienced contractor to do it for you.
I am more lenient to those who wish to be an expert on polished concrete, though. To these people, I suggest taking three things to heart; you should understand the process, practice what you understood, and have the right tools for the job. These three are all interconnected, and you got to have them to attract potential customers.
First things first: Concrete Polishing is a sequence of diamond tooling using progressively higher grits. You start with a low grit for your coarse grinding, removing the first few fractions of an inch from the surface. Exposing the aggregate increases the beauty of most concrete. Then, you change to progressively higher grit diamonds, moving on from coarse grinding to the actual polishing.
The second tidbit of advice comes in the form of knowing the equipment your using. You of course need the machine, from which there are many brands to choose from. Your choice of machine also dictates the various grit of diamonds that you need to have. All these information can be asked from Concrete Polishing.
Finally, you need to be able to practice your craft. Some of the available options would be: Apply in a crash course, or work under another floor contractor for some time. We would be able to help out, either way. - 16463
