My garage floor is probably 50 years old and is severely pitted, and decidedly not level. I don't mind it being un-level, but it's so not smooth that sweeping is much harder than it should be. Can I put a thin layer of self-leveling concrete on it to just smooth it out, or would it all pool in the lowest spots? I'm open to other ideas on how to get it smoother as well.
Concrete – use self-leveling concrete on a very not-level surface

Why bother with self-leveling cement? Just use regular cement and a long straightedge to make it flat. Note that most of the smoothness of regular cement mix comes from working it with a "cement float" to work out the bubbles and help bring the "cream" to the surface.
