8 years and still looking good. No delamination and still looks nice. I'm ordering more for a new steel garage. For that building I had the concrete contractor do a brushed finish vs smooth to help with adhesion (although I've not had any adhesion issues here). New place is at 8500 feet and...

4 + years and still looking good. I have a one gallon container of touch up I purchased a year or so back and still haven’t felt compelled to do any repairs. I have a few stains and spots from chemicals that I plan to sand off and touch up but that’s about it. Floor still cleans up well and...

I'm coming up on a year and still very happy with the floor. Plan to do my first mop job and will shoot a few pictures for comparison. I've only blown the floor off with a leaf blower and spot cleaned spills. Definitely spilled oil, wood stain, urethane clear from wood projects, dragged heavy...

I worked in squares that were defined by the joints in the concrete - something like 12x12. Dumped SPGX out of the can onto the floor and quickly distributed heavily with the roller. Then went back with a brush and touched up the joints and cut in edges the next day. Total time to install was...

I did a single relatively heavy coat in my garage with no prep (new concrete) other than two high pressure washes the builder did and blowing out the garage with a leaf blower. I've done a lot of work in the past 6 months and still love the floor and I see no spots where I wish there was more...

Single coat. Coverage seemed sufficient. Nice finish and seems to have completely encapsulated the concrete. I used one bag of anti skid per gallon.

KDX - Concrete was poured Late May, builder hit it with a floor machine to clear off the over spray (can see in darker gray), it was power washed twice during the build, last was two weeks ago the day of our walk through. I kept red rosin over the concrete during the move to keep it clean...

Rolled out my SPGX this weekend. Maybe not the solution for everyone, but perfect for my needs. I'm going for function + an industrial look. Plan to start my Unistrut work next and order a new 4 post. Really appreciate all the replies. I think any of the solutions would have worked. The...

Thx DTE. Look forward to seeing your results. I plan to finish mine in 2-3 weeks and will do the same.

Both seem to fit the criteria I specified in the original post. Relatively inexpensive ($.50 sq ft), simple, clear, tough, easy to maintain <--reason for my question about the top coat. I'm looking at my options. Hopefully this clears up any confusion (no pun). Thx, Todd

I appreciate all the information. I like the idea of SPGX. However what appeals to me about the burnished sealer/densifier is the repairability. I have a sissor lift and a 4 post on casters and I worry about pealing back and scuffing a top coat. Any thoughts? Do you think SPGX will out perform...

Scotty - I think that may be the ticket. After burnishing are there any particular chemicals I should be careful with and can I reapply at some interval and burnish just to keep it looking good? Edit - just read this article - http://allgaragefloors.com/densifier-sealer-garage-build-project/...

Thanks Shea - have been reading on that. Are there any products in this space that resist solvents or is that going to be an issue regardless of process/chemicals used?

Simple clear floor I'm moving into a new place next month with a 975sq ft garage (dream come true) and want to protect and finish the garage floor. I've had both epoxy and polyaspartic floors with heavy broadcast chips. Nice looking, but I managed to damage both and overall wasn't happy with...
