I need some recommendations as to a concrete sealer or coating. I do weld and work in this shop but I need something that will control some of the dust and make it easier to wipe up any spills .

I have never seen the point of garage floors. Some people seal them or Racetrack. Forget that. I use mine. Poured the slab, garage went up. Smooth finish. I sweep it. I weld in there. I work on my cars. Oil spills just get some kitty litter and scrubbed. It is a work garage, not a dang showroom for eating off of. I do not keep my vehicles parked in there in winter. Garages are for guys, cars are for car ports

Look at ghostshield products. One of the vendors here carries it. I used the 4500 densifier and have the 8505 sealer to put on in a week. The 8505 is approved for Dot bus garages so I figured should last a long time in my shop. Neither product makes the floor slippery and is transparent. The 8505 resist oil, antifreeze, and salt damage.

thanks for the links, I will check them out.

I have used the floor for 10+ years now like it is . I'm simply tired of it always looking and feeling dirty. I also do park in it almost every day year round. I figure that part of the reason my 05 truck still looks as good as any new one.

When I was a teen we had a dirt floor shop and a gravel floor garage. I swore id never lay in the rocks to work on something again once I built my shop ......... never have , never plan to.

Ghostshield is a great choice for a non decorative sealer http://www.garageflooringllc.com/siloxa-tek-8505-concrete-sealer/ . You would want to use our densifier first
