Ok, I'm flip flopping like there's no tomorrow. Looking at the hd6525 now instead of the hd40 because I want a wet look.
Here's the problem. My basement floor was likely power troweled but it does absorb water pretty well and quickly but yet it feels nothing like 100-150 grit sand paper.
I don't have a drain down there so splashing around and etching isn't a great option nor is heaving grinding (finished basement).
Would scuff sanding with 80 grit on a grinder or orbital be sufficient for a sealer? I tried a few spots while cleaning the floor and it doesn't really right it up but it must be doing something.
