I looked at Pat's website and that is for severely damaged concrete. Most spalling I see from salt/snow melt usually only has pitting that is a 1/4" to 1/2" deep at the most. Not deep enough to skim coat any concrete or cement mix and expect it to stay. I suppose there is some type of liquid acryllic stuff you could try to trowel on. Probably a waste since it won't stay either but something to think about if you are a good troweler. If it already looks bad then what the heck except that stuff is usually a dark grey color and may look worse when it peels off.
If you tear it out and start over or if you top coat it with 2" of concrete, the trick is to get the right kind of mix and then float it and trowel it just right to avoid spalling the next time. Your concrete company can probably tell you as I can't think of the best mix off the top of my head. Same of the methods of floating and troweling, you need to get the rock and fines in the right place with some but not too much cream on top. It's been a while for me but a regular concrete finisher here will tell you. Maybe a finish spray and keeping it covered and wet in the hot sun will help cause part of the problem is how the concrete cured also.
