Cheapest decent garage floor?

[bww_mnm]

Hi. I live in the distant NW burbs of Chicago w a early 90s house w a 3 car garage. It's used for our 2 cars and way too much kids stuff. The garage floor had been painted at some time. That's mostly up now. There are a few cracks that will need to be addressed. Very little pitting.

What's the best way to "seal" the concrete floor for easy clean up: push/spray snow/salt out in winter/spring and sweep in summer? I'd consider diy or paying and want it to look nice. Not showroom but nice. .

Thanks!

I just used a densifier and acid coloring - looks pretty good and the densifier keeps spills on the surface (beads up) so it can be cleaned up fast and easy.

One other "requirement" ... I don't want it slippery with snow/wet when getting run off in chicago winter.

Scotty, what are your thoughts?

If you want a very resistant coating in clear or color, our Nohr-S is popular.

If you simply want to waterproof the slab without changing the look or texture, our Silax-Seal is hard to beat.

would any local stores sell densifiers?

For the record... densifier over acid stain is an option. However, nothing brings out the color (in acid stain) like a good solvent based topical sealer.

We have several inexpensive options available including a clear product and the Rust Bullet product which has been raved about by many on the forum
