For the big holes, I mixed half sand with half Polybond. Remember, the Poly bond is created for styrofoam and is not advised to dilute as I am doing.
However, I have done this many times in the last 35 years successfully.
Here is what the work looks like today in 2020, at the 20-minute mark of the below video titled,

However, I don’t recommend the Poly-Bond system I used in this video to use this resurfacing system.
Because the materials needed can’t be found at HD or Lowes, but only at the plastering yards, slaking is involved.
Also, motor oils and grease are complex to pressure wash off driveways or walkways where cars have leaked oil. On the other hand, dust, dirt, or moss on stucco walls are easy to wash off now.
Remember, it’s just there to drive over. So why break the bank for that.
I pressure washed with a force of 3,000 to 3,500 psi force.
Nothing, not even the strongest caulking, will adhere to a surface where cars have driven over and, more than likely, leaked oils or transmission fluid. The oil absorbs deeply into concrete, and that powerful force is required to remove it. If it’s not clean enough to eat off, your product won’t adhere.
Notice the water in the street and the pressure washer? it does not need to be dripping just moist.
Unlike a wall, no one drives cars that leak oil on walls.
That’s only in comic books or movies.
When folks are driving and walking on it, this causes vibrations and adds to the extra care necessary to clean it well.
Remember, vibrations with any cementitious finish, especially flat surfaces such as a driveway, are like kryptonite to Superman, not good.
Plus, the material I used is not sold at either of these stores but only plastering yards as it is precisely engineered to attach styrofoam to base-coated walls.
Also, folks can google concrete self-leveling or resurfacing products. There are more than the three mentioned above. I added these three as I’m familiar with their product’s excellent history of quality. All can be purchased at either Home Depot or Lowes.
Today I’d recommend BMI 690 with fibers; it’s lime stucco. It’s stronger. And much more user-friendly. Google plastering yards near me for this incredibly strong and flexible stucco.
