1. A method of polishing a concrete surface comprising the steps of:applying an organic curable liquid coating to a concrete surface; the liquid coating having a low viscosity to soak into the upper layer of the concrete through the concrete's exposed pores and crevices; removing excess coating that lies above any peaks of concrete; curing the liquid coating to seal the underlying concrete surface with its pores and crevices from ambient atmosphere; polishing the concrete and cured coating to remove any coating above the peaks. 2. A method of polishing a concrete surface as defined in claim 1 further comprising the steps of:sanding the concrete floor with a grit large enough to open the porosity of the concrete surface before applying the liquid coating thereon. 3. A method of polishing a concrete surface as defined in claim 1 further comprising the steps of:sanding the concrete floor with a sander having ranges approximately 16-80 grit. 4. A method of polishing a concrete surface as defined in claim 1 further comprising the steps of:said polishing the concrete and cured coating being with a grit of 150 or finer to remove any resin above the peaks of concrete. 5. A method of polishing a concrete surface as defined in claim 3 further comprising the steps of:said liquid coating having surfactants mixed therein for promoting flow and spreadability onto said concrete surface; said viscosity of said liquid coating being near that of water. 6. A method of polishing a concrete surface as defined in claim 1 further comprising the steps of:said coating when cured being transparent. 7. A method of polishing a concrete surface as defined in claim 1, further comprising the steps of:said coating when cured being opaque. 8. A method of polishing a concrete surface as defined in claim 1 further comprising the steps of:of said organic curable liquid coating being applied by roller, spray or brush; and said removing any excess liquid coating being by squeegeeing and vacuuming excess coating above the peaks of concrete. 9. A method of polishing a concrete surface as defined in claim 1 further comprising the steps of:said organic curable liquid coating being one of an organic epoxy, acrylic, alkyd, oil or urethane base systems.
