The covered carport has a low spot that holds water. It didn’t bother me at first but the water isn’t drying up and starting to smell. It doesn’t help with project cars sitting in the same area so I can’t squeegee it completely. My thoughts are groove concrete for water to run off (I don’t like the idea), some type of self leveling filler, or grinding to make level? I think the self leveling won’t be but 1/2” thick at the most. What would GJ do?

Self leveling concrete for low spot

Clean it really good, acid etch, bonding agent, self leveling concrete over the whole carport or to a control joint at least (patches on old concrete look really bad).
Hi, don't attempt to grind it level, its almost an impossibility, even for professionals with large grinders.
Best to use a cementious leveling product to level it out. Make sure you 'pin' the floor first using a laser and measuring stick to determine how thick in each small area you need to pour to. The top of the pins (we have seen people hot glue cut golf tees upside down, trimmed to the proper height) should be the top of the leveler since you won't be able to see how thick to pour in each area once you start.
Once leveled, suggest coating the entire surface with a 100% solids system like our www.armorcladepoxy.com or something similar from a vendor of your choice.

Drill a hole! Make a small dry well.
