Hi Ron,
Last year, when I bought my house, I put down the Rust-o-leum EpoxyShield
coating. It has held up incredibly well. Much like painting a car, the key
is the prep work. You have to get the existing concrete as clean as
possible. We spent about 6 hours cleaning the surface. It turns out that
when the house was built, the painters and drywallers used the garage as
their prep area, and there was a ton of residue left on one side. The other
key is that you must let the surface cure for at least a week after painting
it. If you don't, I've heard about problems with hot tires causing the
sealant to lift. For me, that wasn't a problem, since I didn't actually
move in for another 3 months! <grin>
The stuff still looks like new. I don't have any stains or wear through,
even though the garage was the rally point for all of the stuff when I did
finally move in. Combine that with the abuse it's taken from working on the
cars, and I'm very pleased with how it turned out.

I know there have been many threads on this, archive
search was futile. What's your experience /
recommendation for garage floor sealant? Gonna do it
when the weather here stays the same for more than 20 minutes.
