I agree. would never coat a shop floor again. Did it twice. Giant automotive suppliers polish their factory floors. Looks great and you can have it done again in high traffic areas.,


Even grocery stores are polishing concrete floors these days. Insanely expensive. At Kenworth Truck Co we spent over $100k just polishing the main walkway aisles. I thought it was an incredible waste, but the factory is a showpiece for tours, so it’s justified,
