We are proposing a polished finish. In our test we we first stripped off the coating (fairly easily).   What was left was a smooth finish of probably 100 grit.  We honed at 200, 400 and 800 and then polished with 5x.  At 800 we could get both the aggregate and cement to a suitable clarity and gloss.  400 only got the aggregate glossy.  We touched it off with some chrystallizer. See picture below.
