Hello, I have a question about etching my garage floor. It is new concrete cured about 9 months. I am using the Armor Poxy Armorultra 3-Layer Low VOC system. The directions for etching say power wash then apply a 4-1 solution of the provided etching solution. I did all that, used a mop to apply it and brushed it in with a bristle brush and let it stand for 45 min then rinsed. Repeated the process twice. But the directions say to let stand for 45min or until foaming stops. In my case the foaming stopped almost immediately and really only foamed in the areas where I first took the mop out and placed it on the floor. Where I spread it around to had little or no foaming. After letting it dry the next day there is the appearance of an etched floor (white powdery looking) in some places, but mostly what appears to be just really clean concrete.
I would really like to make sure I didn't do anything wrong here. I've used this product before and never had any problems but it was long ago and don't recall how it etched back then.
