I've been researching cures for my unfinished concrete garage flooring. I'm tired of tracking concrete dust into my boat and truck! I was thinking about Swisstrax, but I have concerns when parking the boat, the torque involved in getting it into it's spot is more than likely to twist the Swisstrax and become a problem. So my question to you guy's is, what other alternatives should I look at? Don't want to break the bank, don't care about it being pretty. I just want to eliminate the dust issue!

Why do you have concrete dust in your garage?

That is the question. I assume a bad finish.

How about applying a sealer / densifier?

This.
It's probably not dust from the concrete itself as much as it is dirt that is sticking to the open pores in the concrete and being tracked everywhere.

i have Swisstrax and love them. The only problem i've ever had was one time pulling into the garage i dropped the clutch too aggressive in my Vette and launched the end piece some feet which i semi broke. I had an extra replacement so no big deal. I will say it gets annoying though when i spill oil or other fluids and i can't clean it up, and it stays there until it dries.

IMO a common sealer will help. Easy to do, not overly expensive and available at most retailers.

No coating or sealant whatsoever.

I'd just get some eagle (I think that's brand) concrete sealer
