I had a couple of garage slabs poured and the finisher got a little overzealous on one of them. I think it is polished to the point that it will be a slip hazard. Anyone know of a way to roughen a slab after the fact?

Muriatic acid will etch it. Try a spot with a garden sprayer, time how long it is on, and then rinse off. To neutralize it you follow up with baking soda.

i wish your finisher was close to me,thats how i like a floor. last shop floor i did i told the guy to power trowel it till it went black. he didn't get it there but it's ok.
if it's slick you can spill oil on it and it will wipe up easily,brooms off good,washes even better.
put a sign up "watch your az floor is slick" larry
if a man speaks in the forest,and there's not a woman to hear him,is he still wrong?
Too late now, but "Let me finish it" would have been the answer.
