Concrete Polish

Post: # 38911Post Boots »

Does anyone know if there is a product to enhance the shine of polished concrete?

From what I can gather the polishing process involved cutting, but does anyone know if there is a finishing product used, and if so what is it - and are there natural alternatives that I can use to spruce up an existing (now dull) polished concrete floor?

...I just dripped some co-conut oil on it by accident, and it looks heaps good... :king:

Coconut oil probably makes it look better but it may become a skating rink, be careful!!

Anything that makes it shiny could make it a bit slippery, how about some kind of wax? I mean, they use it on surf boards don't they and some floor waxes?
If in doubt ~ use a hammer!

No idea, sorry... but you just took me back to my childhood when my nextdoor neighbour used to put some red coloured stuff onto her doorstep to make it look 'posh'

LOL - Posh huh?

Have just painted the entire inside of the house and the floor has dull patches on it that of course I am noticing now that the walls look so posh :mrgreen:

Yep, think you are prolly right Shiney, oil could be a tad treacherous! Might slow my dogs up a bit though... :mrgreen: It was the colour I liked... kind of turned it a rich marbley kind of look. Prolly won't last but.
