Thank you I am new to this site and didn’t know how or what to look for. :-)
I would be careful. Look into it really well, I would be afraid that such a shiny surface would be slippery when it's wet. Just a thought, but for safety, it's something you might want to investigate.
Used to manage large retail stores and we had two options.
1) epoxy coating expensive and slippery when wet but beautiful and durable
2) Wax the concrete as you would a tile floor it seals it and gives you a sheen. Not as high gloss as the epoxy though.
Wax the Floor with wax from Home Depot or Lowe's , and then give it a week or so and then you have to Hi-Speed Buff it and the more you Buff it the Shiner it gets, with No Slippery at all! Buff it one time it looks better, but wait a week or two and Hi-Speed Buff it again and you will be Amazed, and then do it again in a month or so and it just gets Better and Shiner Everytime, and NOT Slippery!
My patio had a high shine on it when I moved into my house. You could not even walk on it in damp weather much less rainy weather. Be very careful with your high gloss shine treatment.
