Has anyone ever grinded down concrete to remove a finish ? Also how about after the finish is gone, applying a color to the concrete, and a new finish ?

You need to get hold of mr Garage floor guy and buy his franchise. Then you can make the real money not this lousy carpet cleaning money.

Hey Steven, I've messed around with my resin diamonds for stone. It's pretty awesome what you can do to concrete, I polished a section at my old house. If yer looking for more info on it go to dirtygrout.com in the concrete section there's great info by very knowledgeable people. Or check out www.elitecrete.com for decerative concrete, awesome stuff, I'm gonna get into it soon.

What are you removing? What surface? Inside, outside, garage? The location will determine the product type and the procedure will vary also depending on all of these questions.
