How do I care for Polished Concrete once I'm living on it?

Can cracks be filled?
Yes, but it is best to leave fine cracks for a couple of years as there may be a chance the cracks will close again with movement.

Is it possible to have a polished concrete floor in a domestic house which will not crack and make the polishing ugly? Can concrete be reinforced to avoid cracking?
A structural slab and topping slab or screed should be reinforced but even with these measures there is no guarantee that the concrete will not crack. If your foundations move the slab will move which may cause cracking.
