This is not strictly a "flooring" topic, but... any recommendations for sealers for outdoor concrete, specifically a garage apron/driveway? It's about 1,100 square feet, and has a broom or "bull float" finish. Is a Thompson's Water Seal-type product the way to go, or is there something better...

Thanks, Winmon. On closer inspection, I think I was just seeing some dust and dirt that was hidden among the flecks, rather than the flecks themselves smearing. I used 5 1/2 kits to put two coats on 1,288 sq. ft. I tried to put on the second coat fairly heavy.

Thanks, Steve. I live on a gravel road, and have a gravel driveway, so damage from rocks is a real possibility. I'll probably pass on the mat for now, and see if anything else is out there.

I finished my Rustoleum Professional floor about two weeks ago: two coats, flakes in the second coat, and no clear coat. Yesterday, I gave it a light hosing to get rid of some dust and dirt. When I hit it with a broom or squeegee, it appeared that some of the flakes were streaking or smearing...

Has anyone tried these: http://www.allmats.com/site/439205/page/333482 They seem a bit expensive for what they are - basically a piece of vinyl with a raised edge - but I need something for mud, slush and the occasional oil drip on my newly-epoxied floors. Any other products out there?

Thanks for the pictures, Winmon. I've finally settled on Rustoleum Professional for my three-car garage. I'm curious about how much coverage you got out of the kits: how many kits did it take to do two coats on your 40'x40' garage? Did you use any of the anti-skid stuff?
