Question:

We are getting ready to start finishing our basement and want to leave just the bare concrete floor. We would like to apply something to make it smoother and shiny, but our concrete has the fiberglass mixed in so it's somewhat rough. What can we do to smooth it out and what can we use to make it shiny and smooth. My relative says he just used a few coats of floor wax?

Answer:

You can go through the four steps (cure, etch, prime & paint) and paint it but other than that, you're back to peel & stick tiles or carpet.
