Grinders do a very good job If anyone is looking to have somebody prep for them or polish I may be able to recommend a local company for you

You could also have a company grind and polish the floor. It would, like shot blasting and epoxy, cost more than the $100 for a sealer, but it is a better final product than the epoxy. Thnks for the heads up and Good luck

yes, almost any slab can be polished and it will hold up better and look better than any coating or sealer. It will cost more than paint or sealers, but less than some coatings or tiles.

Look into polished concrete. It looks great, is tough, reflects light, can be dyed to nearly any color, easy to clean, and no worries of not properly prepping an old worn/ stained floor.

Have you considered polished concrete? For a cost that is comparable to many of the other options it is a far superior floor that can take a beating. If you prefer, the concrete can also be dyed nearly any color.
