Getting different stories on dry times, so I'll throw out this question here.
I'm considering resurfacing the concrete garage floor with some Quikrete self leveling concrete.
Here's a couple of questions I have:
As far as prep work goes (besides a thorough cleaning), do I need to smooth out any irregularities before putting it down ?
I had started filling in over some rough spots, but if the self leveling stuff is going to cover this, I won't need to continue what I have started ...

but more importantly:
What is the actual dry time when I can put my rolling tool boxes and my car back in the garage ?
One concrete guy I know says you should be able to walk on it in approximately 30 minutes, and that I should be able to park in there by the end of the day.
A guy at a big box store suggested I wait at least 48 hours before parking the car in there ...
