Check the entire concrete perimeter to make sure work crews have full, unrestricted access to all floor edges and corners. A fully emptied room is essential so dust and prep debris do not settle onto stored belongings.",

Apply a targeted industrial degreaser to lift oil spots, and scrape or strip away any peeling, incompatible paints. Done properly, the bare concrete is free of slick spots that would block new coating adhesion.",

Smooth the patching compound flush with the surrounding floor so there are no uneven ridges or low voids. The repair material must fully harden before you move forward to surface profiling.",

Remove all loose dust, slurry, and grit by vacuuming the entire floor thoroughly. When complete, the concrete feels like medium-grit sandpaper and readily absorbs water droplets.",

Keep foot traffic off for at least 24 hours, and hold off on parking vehicles for 24 to 36 hours, extending up to 96 or 120 hours in colder weather.
