I have a small garage (around 300 sq. ft.) with a concrete floor. I'm hoping to sand it down and polish it to make it showroom-like. I already own a 5" hand-held stone grinder. I do not have one of those large upright stone polishers that the pros have.
My question is: can I use a hand-held device to grind/polish my floor, even though it would take much longer? My local big-box hardware store rents the big devices for about $150/day, but given that my project might take a few days, this would be very expensive for me.
I'd rather just buy a set of various-grit pads and grind/polish with my handheld. I don't mind getting on my hands and knees to do this. But is it even doable, and what potential pitfalls should I look out for?
