If it is a brand new concrete floor, you have to give it at least 28 days to cure. If the slab is old, you may want to check it for pits and cracks, and use a special product, like the Quick Mender, to fill those.

This will determine the size of the machine and vacuum needed, as well as how much tools you need. For example, a Lavina 20® Pro is great for small residential projects, like garages and patios, whereas for larger residential or commercial projects or time-sensitive jobs, you would need a bigger and more productive machine, like Lavina 25N® or Lavina 32® Pro.
Choosing the proper machine and tooling is critical for the success of the job, and you need to answer the following questions first:
The condition of the concrete will determine the initial grinding steps needed to prepare the floor for polishing including coatings, epoxy removal etc. If the floor is in great shape, you can start with 120 grit metals, but if the floor is uneven and blemished, you will need to start with a rougher grit like 30.
If you want to show aggregate, you have to grind the concrete more aggressively (longer and deeper) than if you want to polish just the cream.

If you want just a honed finish on your concrete floor, you can stop after grit 220 or 400 but if you want a shiny mirror-like finish, you have to go through all the steps up to or grit. After V-Harr® Buff ( grit), the highest polishing step on the market, your floor will be sparkling.
Most people use the dry process – it is faster and less messy but you will need a good vacuum to take care of the dust.
This will determine what sealer and dyes are needed. Lavina SPS Glow is for indoor use only. Water- and acetone-based dyes are also for interior applications only because color will fade over time in areas where the dye is exposed to frequent UV light. The Color Juice is ideal for concrete porches, patios, driveways, sidewalks and pool decks.
Color is entirely up to you but you would need the following accessories to apply the chemicals and dyes: microfibers mops and mop heads; air pump sprayers or a special pump sprayer if applying an acetone-based dye; painters tape and masking paper to mask off all areas that do not receive any color. Note: water- and acetone-based dyes are for interior applications only.
Make sure you know what voltage is your machine before you plug it in the circuit. If you have a regular 220V machine, the Lavina Quick 220V system will help you put a 220V 20amp circuit in just about any house using 2 separate 110V outlets on different circuits. Never plug a 220V machine into a 480V circuit! If you have a high voltage machine you would need a special generator unless you have access to 480V circuit.
