Just had my deck poured and it doesn't look great(pics later). Chose colored concrete with acid wash. Color was mocha-- now it is pinkish--- I know coloring is tough, but I specifically asked to stay away from pinkish tones and this one was recommended. Acid wash wash a one-hour muratic acid and broom job--- uneven finish with very smooth paint finish in some places and deep wash inother places.

Some of the edges and joint edges look like they were worked when dry--- with crumbling appearance. Fortunately, very few cracks.

What is the std slope? this is so steep it catches the eye.

And finally, my question--- is there a buffer or something that concrete guys use to give a more uniform appearance? Don't want more acid, but it looks like it could look allot better if some sort of coarse finishing machine-- like a floor buffer, could be used on it.

Looks like it will have to be stained/sealed to get a good color. If there is a better forum, pls advise--- thanks!
