I have a concrete drive that although solid without cracks the surface

as I would like. It was damaged by heavy rain while it was setting.


Is there something like floor levelling compound or a mix of sand and
cement I can use
over it to skim the surface and smooth it out.


What about resin bonded/bound aggregate? Might be ok with a thick
resin coat. I personally really like the finish, but don't have a
suitable driveway for it to go on without spending lots of cash.

Might be better to just give it a thin coat of resin on its own, using
the thinnest possible formulation so it sinks into the hollows.
