and now is nice.
If you have one of these floors (old and yucky) and you're thinking about pouring an all new slab or covering it with another material, it's time to find out how this is done.

Winner
While we were neglecting the blog, someone played our game!
Thank you to Michelle for snapping this photo of our van in Manhattan yesterday. She reported that it was on Bleeker Street, where we are working on something special (made of concrete).
Thanks for playing along!
Michelle opted for the concrete bowl.

Mock Up
This is what our floor polishing machines and professional technicians can do to an old, mistreated concrete floor.
The process does not involve any harsh chemicals or sealers and maintenance is super easy.
Diamond polishing is economical, sustainable, durable, and beautiful!
