New concrete in Chicago

[Dropkickmolly13]

I just had a new garage built and the concrete was poured in mid november in Chicago. I am going to protect the concrete somehow once the weather gets better so need some suggestions. The garage is going to be heated and has a floor drain in the middle. It will mostly be used as a man cave and to work on cars and motorcycles occasionally. Looking for protection from road salt, oil, and furniture being moved around and stuff. I prefer the look of natural concrete over epoxy. Its a pretty smooth finish right now and like that look. I would rather not etch or grind the floor if I dont have to. I would also like something that will hold up to scrubbing and pressure washing since I like to keep the floors clean. Is there any products that can do all of these things?

I would take a look at a densifier and sealer -- no aesthetic value. Ghostshield 8510 is the best I have found. Lots of people here with great experiences with it. You will need 50+ to install it. https://www.garageflooringllc.com/siloxa-tek-8505-concrete-sealer/

In the man time.... cardboard.... carpet mats.....

Ghostshield products. And as Justin mentioned, cardboard and a couple of rolls of pig mat. More importantly don’t let things drip on it while it’s still clean. Easier to keep clean then to clean the spill.

Ghostshield as a densifier/sealer or a single coat of our SPGX one part polyurea would work great.
