I have a concrete drive that although solid without cracks the surface isn't as smooth 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.
How bad is it? You don't want a really smooth surface as it'll become an ice rink in winter with nothing more than a decent frost and an ice rink in summer due to alagae. A gentle mottled surface may look better than the normal tamping board lines.
I suspect any such thin layer wouldn't last very long before starting to come away, particulary where the weight of any vehicle passes.
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.
the thinnest possible formulation so it sinks into the hollows.
