Thank you all !
Well you are a homeowner. Welcome to the forum of professional washers. What you have here is a new pad that wasn’t cured fully and you probably used high psi with a small degree nozzle straight onto the pad to “clean” it but instead have removed the material itself because you used high pressure to clean. That’s called etching. It’s permanent. It will forever be there. A way to make this look “uniform” is to remove more of the material and blend it in so there isn’t noticeable edges where the wand is but… the correct way to fix this would to have them put another coat on top / resurface it. But I’m not sure how that works with aggregate. I would call whoever poured it for you and have them fix it.

Thank you all
I don’t believe that at all. Don’t lie. Gets you no where, Those are clearly wand marks. Whether you did it or the contractors that poured it (highly unlikely), It’s been damaged by a pressure washer used incorrectly
You can clearly see a McDonald’s M and a wavy line from the wand
It’s damaged.

Acid wash is simply a term for a chemical to eat away at the aggregate to again, Remove the material in hopes that it hides the edges of the hard marked parts
Ive scratched the hell out of my, yes older concrete driveway scooting 1ton differentials around on it and can barely notice the scratches over some time. I have no doubt that you can sand away the marks to blend them in. Now, would the sealer reveal the sanded portion is hard to say.
If none of that was you, then what’s the problem? The company needs to fix it even if it means tearing it out.

@MaxMax I second @qons and suggest you call the person that left it like this and they should be responsible for repairing/replacing. If you didn’t make the markings and it was another guy with a washer then hold them responsible. If you believe it was the guys who poured the concrete then hold them responsible. Keep us posted on how it turns out please.
Thank you guys!

So what type of acid you going to use for this? You going to neutralize after applying?
