Hello!
Need some opinions here. Replaster or ? acid wash OR Just fill and go and go with it a few more years?
Long story but let my pool go to Crud by lack of maintenance and now have to pay the piper.

This is some quartz aggregate (can't recall, probably florida gem or something, was not the diamondbrite brand that i recall), it was replasted 10-12 years ago. From what i recall this involved chipping off loose original marcite (pool was original 25 year old marcite) and replastering.
There's a noticable green haze, and rough spots generally all over, i'm not sure if the haze is from the old 25 yr old solar which had copper iirc (and was recently removed) or from my spazzing out with algaecide or general lack of keeping things up well last few years (all of the above i'd guess!).
Some pics, bad light today but hopefully legible

I've tapped out the entire shell, the only bonding spots are 2 maybe 2 square feet each, rest seems well bonded.
I'm kinda hoping to buy another year or 2 out of it...but if that seems hopeless i may get some quotes. I'm really wondering if a strong acid wash may help even things out at the expense of a little roughness as there's no major bonding areas aside from 2 and nothing is worn to the concrete.
Thanks for any help/insight!
