I just finished grinding my garage, and spent nearly 30 hours on it. They power troweled the **** out of it, and it took forever to break through the initial finish. I have another pour coming up, what finish do I want to request so that I can grind it in under a day?

Hey guys, I 'm doing a 6" slab with 1/2" pex, on 2.5" of rigid foam. I was planning to staple the pex to the foam, but my contractor is giving me serious kickback and insisting that it should be tied to the wire mesh halfway up the slab. He's also telling me that they should do shallow cuts to...
