Default Polished concrete

I was watching Property Ladder last night on one of the minor channels.

The kitchen of the property concerned had a polished concrete floor.
The aggregate was clearly visible and was the finished look.

How was that achieved?

diamond pads and patience (or a bigger machine).

I didn't see it, so I've no idea just how polished it was, but we had a shed
/ packhouse floor done with a BFO machine that basically skimmed the top of
the concrete until the floor was bloody smooth, and there's a slight sheen
to it. I imagine they lay it carefully and use a mix that can be easily
polished up after.

Look up Terrazzo grinder/polishers for hire

How do you polish into the corners of rooms then?
