I give up! I have a beautiful Rock Solid Rustoleum garage floor with a Rustoleum top coat and it scratches VERY easily (many people having this issue). I did some research with the help of this site and it led me to Rust Bullet Concrete Clear Top Coat. I gave it a try after sanding down my existing surface and it bonded very well to my existing scratched up surface and made it look BRAND NEW again! BUTTTT it still scratches pretty easily after letting 2 coats dry after 5 days. Is it just inevitable and there aren't any top coats that will not scratch easily like this? Please watch my videos below. Even my rubber shoes scratch if I drag my feet a bit. What other product can I try?

*Someone please help! We can't even use our garage for fear of scratching it to a point where its not repairable.

If you have a dark colored floor, the slightest blemish might stand-out on the clear-coat.
Try a polyaspartic clear, your result should be better.

Don't recall the original thread on this, if you could post it so I could get some background it would be very helpful. Some pics too. Please give me a call, we will get the manufacturer involved (regardless of where you purchased it ) and help figure out what happened and how to solve it. If need be we can get you a different top coat with an anti wear additive.

Rock Solid floors are generally very thin and will damage easily ( check as to how MUCH material you get/gals in a Rock Solid kit for your square footage). A good epoxy system with 100% solids and topcoat would perform much better than this.

We don't think a topcoat will fix this, suggest tiles or recoating.
