Maintaining glossy concrete is simple and cheap: dry fine dust-mop or industrial vacuum daily to strip grit stage, clean with a neutral-pH cleaner as needed, and run a high-speed burnisher periodically to restore the reflectivity. With this routine a burnished floor can look good for decades with almost no recoating.
