Years of leaking Harleys and a few truck motor swaps left my 1950's era 36 X 36 detatched garage floor looking like an oil soaked mess. I spent weeks scrubbing and then etching. I ended up using the Rustoleum Acrylic garage floor paint. It's a one part product. It looked awesome when I finished it, it's a satin finish. When moving stuff back into place, I noticed it easily marked up. Example: Just rolling my welding cart, or small mechanics chair both on casters, marked the floor. I can easily wipe the marks off with a wet towel, but it's like even dusty footprints show up, along with motorcycle tires etc.... I had intended on putting a clear coat ontop. Will this eliminate the easy markup ? I have some Seal Krete Clear Seal I was wanting to use.

Clear Seal would help greatly, just test it on a small corner first to assure adhesion (wait for it to cure a few days and try to pull off with duct tape).

Thanks. I cleaned it with diluted dish detergent and re coated with the floor paint. How long should I wait before going over it with the clear ?
