I have bought a home and the carport looks horrable. It is dark gray and SLICK in spots. My grandchildren have slipped and fell several times. There are places that look as though someone has scraped the top surface with a small scraper but I have tried and it is extremely tough. I have tried Muratic acid and strong paint remover. What can I do other then sandblast? ---THANKS--

Aluminum Oxide grit is what the pros use to add anti slip to paint. Sand crushes, the AL oxide won't.

If you feel the paint idea will work, you can just mix some clean sand such as mason sand in it or throw it on top. If a tracking into the house is a concern you best mix it in the paint prior to application. I live a few miles from a silica sand mine so that is what we use. If it is extreem and you think you can pull it off, mix mason cement and water with only a little sand (to a latex paint consistancy) and simply roll it on. Dave NE IA

I think you are correct on the improper finishing causing the problem. What happens is the concrete gets away from you and you have to over work it with the power trowl. Have had it happen on a basement floor once.
If you have a local rental center they schould have a grinder for concrete. Wont be cheap, they charge for the stones on the grinder. Or you could buy a GOOD 2 part epoxy paint and use a anti skid additive.

This is definately not oil and it is definately not paint. The dark spots look like an epoxy coating that has been scraped and they are a darker shade of gray. I believe it is a result of improper finishing. Is ther an etching that can be used to possibly remove this glaze?

if its oil, put calcified lime (powder) on it, broom it in and let it sit a day or 2 then sweep it up. this will take the oil out of the concrete, and the stain will be very light.

Are these slick spots oil and grease from a leaking auto? You may try a pressure washer.
If its that bad you may have to wash it several tims as more of the oil/grease works it way back to the surface. Wash once, blow dry with a leaf blower ( be cautious of exhaust fumes in an enclosed area), redo as often as required.
If its alge scum, again pressure wash ,first add bleach, work it in with a broom. pressure wash again as required. As to the surface treatments these are good, but will not work well with out a clean preped surface as per the directions. Good luck, Keep the kids away from the pressure washer and chemicls. jackie

Years ago I had a customer with cement steps & short sidewalk like that . Sherwin Williams had a paint with sand in it for slippery wood & cement . And you could buy extra bags of the same sand to dust it with after application . It's lasted for years now . I myself have put it on my treated lumber steps due to slippery when wet . Good luck , Ken
