restoring/polishing a concrete column

Any advice?

Plaster?

doesnt anyone want to give advice on how to polish a column?

You should be able to wire brush off any marks on the concrete but filling in holes and still keeping it uniform would be near impossible, I would think. If you wanted a smooth, even complexion you would probably have to apply a thin layer of concrete to the entire column and then apply a masonry sealer with the finish you want. I actually think it could be a cool feature if you left it raw, depending on the style of your apartment. Just apply a matte sealer, don't bother trying to even it out or fill in the gaps.

An angle grinder works best, but you need an experience person do it. Stick to the wirebrush to knock out any glue.
The holes are probably from the form mold. I would only appy a matte sealer. Avoid anything with gloss.
The more distressed, left natural is better than filling in "new cement.

Best,
